ENG - Empowering Local Governments to Strengthen the Local Early Childhood System 

Despite existing early childhood services, disparities in access still persist. This webinar served to launch the Early Childhood Development (ECD) Toolbox developed by UNICEF Europe & Central Asia and the International Step by Step Association. The webinar delved into how local governments can bridge these gaps in access. Speakers from the municipalities of Milan, Bucharest, Budapest, and Zagreb shared real-life examples of how they’re using the toolbox to boost service delivery and planning for young children and families in their cities.
