About This Sector
Our Children sector work encompasses the full spectrum of child rights and development—from early childhood through adolescence. We work with governments, communities, and development partners to ensure every child has access to protection, education, health, and nurturing care.
The Challenge
Children across East Africa face multiple challenges including limited access to quality education, inadequate protection systems, health disparities, and fragmented services. The EAC Child Policy provides a framework, but implementation varies significantly across Partner States.
