Research, insights, and learning from iACT’s work.

Executive Summary

Programming Models for Acute Onset Emergencies

iACT has contracted by UNICEF Eastern and Southen Africa Regional Office to support the Kingdom of Lesotho in updating and finalizing their national Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) Curriculum Guide.

This report identifies gaps and makes concrete recommendations for improving professional development for ECE teachers in refugee settings.

COVID-19 brought with it the devastating realization of the disproportionate impact this virus may have on refugee and displaced communities. These members of our global community are already living on the brink, largely forgotten and pushed aside, with limited resources and who already face daily uncertainty.

Little Ripples, an iACT education program, is a refugee-led and culturally-relevant early childhood development program that builds the capacity of displaced women and improves the early development of children ages three to six.
