The stakeholders' meeting held on October 6, 2026, concerning the World University Service of Canada (WUSC) partnership and its expanding involvement in Nigeria's Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sector, marked a pivotal milestone for skills development.

We’re thrilled to have had our Operations Manager join the panel during the 15by30 Convening, organized by our valued partner WUSC, and share our commitment to ensuring refugee youths have equitable access to scholarships and higher education opportunities.

What does dignity at work look like for the people caring for our children? Yesterday, we brought childcare workers, collectives, Nairobi County, and CSOs together for a Town Hall Dialogue under the ACT Project. We unpacked ILO Convention 189, which sets standards for decent work for domestic workers, and ILO Convention 190, which addresses violence and harassment at work, alongside Nairobi’s Childcare Facilities Regulations. The conversation was about workers’ rights, safety, professional standards, and what it takes to build a childcare sector where providers can thrive. But the most important part was having the people doing the work in the room. Not just being spoken about. Being heard. #ACT4Care #ACTProjectKE #ChildcareWorkIsWork #TransformingCare #COVAW #WUSC

This week in Kisumu, @COVAW and @CDTD_ brought together childcare providers, employers, and government representatives to look at what decent work should mean for childcare workers, from fair pay and safe working conditions to protection from abuse and harassment. The conversation is an important step towards changing workplace practices, strengthening protection for childcare workers, and building a sector where decent work is part of how care is delivered. #ACT4Care #TransformingCare #ACTProject #ACTProjectKE #ChildcareWorkIsWork #CareWork #DecentWork #LabourRights #EndSGBV
