Support for a financing and implementation model for the expansion of childcare centers for children aged 0 to 3 years in Mexico

The Technical Assistance Partnership—Expert Deployment Mechanism (TAP-EDM) with Canadian experts Ian Gray, Tracy Apoll, and Valerie Trew are collaborating with the National Institute for Women in Mexico (INMUJERES) and other key governmental partners to provide technical assistance in expanding childcare centers for children aged 0 to 3 years. The initiative will develop a sustainable financial framework with a viable implementation, prioritizing children who do not have social security or access to these care centers.

INMUJERES, as the entity responsible for promoting and fostering conditions that enable non-discrimination, equal opportunities, and equal treatment between genders, plays a crucial role in this initiative. They are committed to coordinating the Inter-Institutional Technical Working Group to articulate care services and promote the creation of a National Care System.

The experts will review the Mexican legislation on Childcare Centers for children aged 0 to 3 and consult with key stakeholders. They will identify best practices, design a sustainable financial and public policy framework for childcare centers, and deliver a workshop in Mexico City to present results, outline the following steps, and train government officials on implementation.
