Learnings from the Moldova childcare model: Paving the way for ECD, women economic empowerment, and refugee integration

(Webinar) Learnings from the Moldova childcare model: Paving the way for ECD, women economic empowerment, and refugee integration

Join Felicia Bechtoldt (State Secretary, Ministry of Labour and Social Protection), Alina Andronache (Gender Expert, Center Partnership for Development), and Tatiana Udrea (Programme Coordinator, UN Women Moldova) in conversation with Street Child to discuss Moldova’s National Programme for Childcare Services — the country’s first large-scale effort to expand quality childcare for children under three while strengthening women’s economic inclusion and integration of refugee families.

The Programme stands out for its strong governance, cross-ministerial coordination, rapid rollout in under 18 months, and an impressive leverage ratio that attracted substantial co-financing. This session will unpack these enabling factors and share practical lessons for actors seeking to design, invest in, or scale childcare systems.
