February 4, 2026 – Over the past two years, early childhood partners from around the world have been working towards an ambitious goal: the first-ever International Finance Summit for Early Childhood, set for 2027. This webinar shared the vision, purpose, and pathway towards the summit. It highlighted how we can work together collectively to position investment in the early years as a national and global policy priority.
Participants left the webinar with an understanding of how partners can engage at each stage of the journey, from shaping evidence and advocacy to influencing decision-makers, and how to actively participate in the Act For Early Years campaign, which is mobilizing political support in the lead up to the summit. Speakers included individuals actively working to build momentum at the country level in Colombia and Nigeria.
This webinar has been organized with Theirworld, UNICEF, and UNESCO.
