Our Story

Zimbabwe Early Childhood Development Network is a national umbrella of Early Childhood Development Organizations working in partnership with other like minded organizations to influence policies, programs and practice related to Early Childhood Development (ECD) by sharing information on experiences and generating knowledge and understanding on ECD. ZINECDA aims to provide a more holistic view of the child and exert pressure on government through the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education to go beyond minimum national ECDE standards on training and pupil to teacher ratios to ensuring that there is congruence across line ministries that have a bearing on ECD issues in Zimbabwe.
