The First-Ever Global Early Years Finance Summit (2027)
A country-led Summit designed to accelerate progress already underway, where governments come forward with their own priorities for young children and families, backed by practical financing and delivery plans shaped by their national realities.
The world stands at a pivotal moment for young children. Artificial intelligence, economic transformation, climate change and conflict are rapidly reshaping societies and placing growing pressure on families and communities everywhere.
What happens in the earliest years matters most
90% of brain development happens before the age of five, shaping lifelong learning, health and economic participation.
Bringing together Governments and Cities, experts and development partners, philanthropies and business leaders, the Summit will focus on action, financing what works and scaling proven solutions so every child has the best possible start in life.
Led primarily by domestic leadership, the Summit will drive new investment and translate the Sustainable Development Goal commitment to universal early childhood development, care and pre-primary education into funded national delivery plans through to 2030.
Take action for Early Years! Register for the Summit today.
