The Act For Early Years ‘Minifesto’
A child-sized manifesto urging leaders to make big investments in the littlest children
The Act For Early Years 'Minifesto' is a tiny document making a big plea for world leaders to prioritise the world’s youngest children. Small in size but bold in ambition, it demands urgent action in the early years - a sector too often overlooked and underfunded.
Can you get your minister, mayor, MP or community leader to sign the ‘Minifesto’?
The 'Minifesto' asks for world leaders to act by committing to three essential goals:
Universal access to quality primary healthcare
supporting health, wellbeing and development from pregnancy to early childhood
Universal access to quality preschool education
Universal family support
including affordable quality childcare, child benefits and parents and caregiver support
To drive forward these three catalytic actions the campaign is calling for:
At least $1 billion in new funding commitments from governments, international donors, businesses, and philanthropic donors to kick start progress and action for the youngest children.
The first-ever global finance summit for the early years with the aim of securing the necessary investments to transform lifelong outcomes for all children.
We need your help!
