for a project to explore the nexus between early childhood care and women's empowerment
With this grant, UNICEF proposes to explore the pathways connecting women’s empowerment to early childhood care and development. UNICEF would investigate how women’s empowerment and early child care interact and affect the life outcomes of two generations. With the International Labour Organization and UN Women, UNICEF would convene an inter-agency advisory group to strengthen collaboration, coordinated research, and program and policy efforts to invest in better outcomes for two generations.
