Tanzania has developed its first National Multi-Sectoral Early Childhood Development Program (NMECDP 2021/22 to 2025/26) which aims at accelerating early childhood development gains by enhancing the multi-sectoral approach to young children’s nurturing care. The program is guided by policy, legal and regulatory frameworks. The Programme calls upon all key government actors across the relevant sectors, development partners, and civil society organizations to work together to ensure all children (aged 0–8 years) in Tanzania experience nurturing care, thrive, and achieve their developmental potential.
The NMECDP established the NMECDP Secretariat whose role is to support the government in the coordination of the implementation of the NMECDP. It is formed by a combination of relevant ECD stakeholders, both the government and non-state actors including both civil society organizations and the development partners.
