We turn numbers and narratives into action
To build a better future for Uganda’s youngest children, we need evidence.
We believe that reliable data, lived experience, and rigorous research are essential to driving better decisions, stronger policies, and smarter investments in early childhood development. Our Data & Evidence Management work ensures that Uganda’s ECD agenda is grounded in what works and rooted in the realities of families and frontline workers.
Whole-Child Focus
Development isn’t just physical it’s cognitive, emotional, and social. Our approach reflects this interconnectedness.
Early Equals Essential
The first 1,000 days shape a lifetime. We prioritize this window with science-backed interventions.
Community as Catalyst
Sustainable change happens when families, health systems, and communities unite around nurturing care.
The First 1,000 Days Last a Lifetime
Science shows that the period from conception to age 3 lays the foundation for all future development. We focus on this critical window, equipping caregivers and health systems to provide the nutrition, protection, stimulation and care that transform early survival into lifelong success. Small investments today yield exponential returns tomorrow.

ECD Data, Evidence & Knowledge Hub
Our national ECD Knowledge Hub is a digital platform that curates up-to-date indicators, research summaries, dashboards, and stories. It equips policymakers, practitioners, and communities with easy-to-access data to drive informed early childhood action.
Situation Analysis & Sector Reviews
We publish in-depth analyses and reviews that map ECD trends, gaps, and opportunities. From financing reviews to policy progress reports, our evidence guides government and partners on where we are—and where we need to go next.
Research, Learning
and Knowledge Translation
We turn complex evidence into practical tools like briefs, infographics, and videos. By co-producing studies and promoting uptake, we make sure decisions rely on insight, not guesswork, and learning fuels action across districts and sectors.
Telling the Story of ECD Through Data
and Voice
We combine statistics with real stories from parents, teachers, and frontline workers. These voices bring numbers to life, highlighting barriers and solutions, and ensuring policymakers hear people’s lived experiences, not just the data, when making decisions.
