As Uganda marks 64 years of independence, we must also consider the future being shaped for our children today.
Every child deserves a fair start to grow, learn and reach their full potential.
Happy Independence Day, Uganda.

She teaches Uganda’s future. Who is supporting her to do it well?
Before a child reaches Primary One, a pre-primary teacher is already helping them learn to communicate, listen, share, build relationships and engage with learning.
Yet many teachers are doing this work with limited training, materials and professional support.
If we expect teachers to build strong foundations for learning, what are we doing to strengthen the people building them?
This #WorldTeachersDay we reflect on the teacher behind Uganda’s earliest learning experiences.

Strong ECD systems are not built by organisations working in isolation. They depend on how well actors connect their knowledge, experience and efforts around shared priorities.
Today, EYC is supporting the ongoing NECDA Stakeholders’ Strategic Meeting as members reflect on progress, emerging priorities and opportunities for collective action.
As NECDA strengthens collective ownership of the network, these conversations matter for how Uganda’s ECD actors coordinate, learn and work together.

Local governments appoint Centre Management Committees for every ECCE centre, separate from any School Management Committee it shares a site with. Worth checking: is every centre's CMC properly constituted, or is one being assumed from the other?

Kampala's Lord Mayor showed up personally for a teacher orientation workshop on the new ECCE Policy, alongside the Ministry of Education and Sports.
EYC's Daniel Amanyire represented the organisation among the partners working to take the policy from document to delivery, teacher by teacher, centre by centre.

Uganda’s ECCE Policy 2025 is moving from the national policy space to the people responsible for delivering ECCE.

Today, we joined @PrimaryDiv and @KCCAUG to take the ECCE Policy 2025 closer to practice, engaging over 750 headteachers, head caregivers, proprietors and caregivers across Kampala.
A key step in turning policy into action for every child.

A policy on paper is not yet change in a child’s life.
Today in Kampala, MoES and KCCA in partnership with @earlyyearsCount are bringing ECCE proprietors and education stakeholders into the implementation conversation about Uganda’s ECCE Policy
The next question is simple:
What changes at centre level?
