How can you make a difference?

UNICEF India’s Country Programme Document (2023–2027) commits to strengthening child-sensitive social protection systems, advancing early childhood development,



and supporting policies that reduce gender inequalities. The UNSDCF for India identifies social protection and human capital development as priority areas for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Looking ahead, UNICEF’s Strategic Plan 2026–2029 places care systems and social protection at the heart of its global agenda, emphasizing integrated approaches that link nutrition, learning, protection, and women’s empowerment. Childcare reform sits at the intersection of these commitments: it directly advances multiple child rights domains while positioning UNICEF as a credible partner in shaping India’s care economy. The ToR also aligns with SPSP approved workplan commitments (Act#5) providing technical support to MoWCD in drafting national childcare policy guidelines—will strengthen inter ministerial coordination and ensure adherence to minimum protocols.
