Africa-Press – Ethiopia. <\/strong><\/span>Africa Conference on Childcare under the theme \u201cBuilding Partnerships for Accelerating Action towards Quality and Inclusive Childcare in Africa,\u201d kicked off in Addis Ababa today.<\/p>\n

In her speech Mayor of Addis Ababa, Adanech Abiebie stressed the importance of robust child care system in Africa.<\/p>\n

Africa is home to the youngest population in the world, with an estimated 650 million children in 2021 and projections reaching 1 billion by 2055.<\/p>\n

Considering this demographic trend, the Africa Conference on Childcare seeks to rally key actors and stakeholders to prioritize, invest in, and implement comprehensive childcare systems that promote early childhood development (ECD) across the continent.<\/p>\n

Anchored in the aspirations of Agenda 2063, Agenda 2040, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the conference aims to forge strong partnerships, enhance multisectoral collaboration, and consolidate ongoing efforts across African Union Member States to ensure that every African child has access to quality, inclusive, and affordable childcare services.<\/p>\n

Raising awareness and political commitment toward the childcare development agenda across Africa as well as strengthening partnerships among governments, international organizations, civil society, and the private sector for improved childcare systems are some of the objectives of the conference.<\/p>\n
