Working families and businesses in Fiji are set to benefit from the development of a childcare policy and regulatory framework that will pave the way for quality and safe childcare services for children under the age of five, while also helping to reduce absenteeism and improve productivity.
IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, is supporting the Fijian Government in the design of the country’s first early childhood care services policy which is expected to foster better outcomes for children, including in health, safety and nutrition.
