Program / Department Summary
Empowering Families, Enriching Lives: Scaling LIWAY's Childcare Models for Two-Generational ECD
is a two-year project (September 2024 – August 2026) in Addis Ababa, funded by the Conrad Hilton Foundation. This initiative is dedicated to improving early childhood development (ECD) while fostering economic empowerment by addressing systemic gaps in childcare access and workforce participation. By implementing scalable and evidence-based childcare solutions, the project aims to create sustainable and market-driven models that enhance the well-being of vulnerable families, particularly internally displaced people, refugees, and host communities.
The project focuses on expanding access to affordable, high-quality childcare by establishing new childcare centers and upgrading existing ones in underserved areas. These centers will provide a safe and nurturing environment where children receive essential care, nutrition, and early learning opportunities that promote cognitive, emotional, and social development. By reducing the childcare burden on women, the project enables them to engage in education, skills training, and employment, ultimately increasing household income and economic stability. Recognizing the interconnected nature of childcare and workforce participation, the project integrates childcare support into labor market interventions, ensuring women and youth have better access to job opportunities, vocational training, and entrepreneurship programs.
A key component of the project is its commitment to evidence-based policy advocacy. By conducting rigorous research on childcare needs, economic impacts, and best practices, the project generates valuable data that informs decision-making at both local and national levels. This research supports the development of policies that institutionalize childcare as a fundamental service, ensuring financial accessibility, regulatory improvements, and greater private sector involvement in childcare provision. The project also strengthens partnerships with government agencies, private sector actors, and development organizations to drive systemic reforms and promote sustainable childcare solutions.
Utilizing a Market Systems Development (MSD) approach, the project catalyzes market-based solutions that create jobs and increase incomes for women, youth, and displaced communities. It enhances job matching services, supports technology-driven employment solutions, and fosters collaboration with employers to integrate childcare support into workforce strategies. By building the capacity of childcare providers, offering financial incentives, and linking childcare services with employment initiatives, the project ensures long-term sustainability and scalability.
