This report highlights the right to early childhood development as a fundamental human right. It calls on governments to invest in inclusive, well-funded systems that support children’s health, learning, protection, and family life—especially for those in marginalised or crisis-affected settings.

Grounded in international law, it urges action to ensure all children can thrive. Key recommendations include public financing, caregiver support, and ending institutional care. Realising the right to early childhood development is essential for building fairer, more resilient societies.
