Launch of early years program

Provision of quality childcare services plays a critical role in the early development and well-being of children. On this backdrop, we have launched an early years program targeting children aged 0-3 years across five sub-counties in Uasin Gishu county. The program is aimed at empowering caregivers of these children with knowledge on the nurturing care framework components including responsive care-giving, adequate nutrition, good health, safety and security and opportunities for early learning.

We have conducted a comprehensive needs assessment and baseline study of childcare providers in the sub-counties with aim of understanding the current state of childcare services they provide. EERUI’s Main focus was on the quality of the childcare service, and identifying capacity-building gaps and develop strategies for improving the quality of the care for a better early developmental outcomes of children.
