Shared vision for quality childcare
The care ecosystem
Cultivate joint, ecosystem-wide action so children are safe, childcare workers thrive, and governments lead the quest for quality, affordable childcare.
We convene actors, align priorities through Technical Working Groups, share evidence openly, and support reforms that keep children at the centre—without inventing competition where collaboration should lead.
CAC sits at the centre—connecting people, ideas and resources for collective action.
Collective action
Technical Working Groups bring expertise together to design, coordinate, and implement targeted interventions across the childcare ecosystem.
From ideas to impact
Across the continent
From local childcare providers to national governments and global partners, CAC connects people and institutions working toward a shared childcare future.
