Ilifa Labantwana’s Annual Report 2024 presents an overview of the organisation’s work to strengthen South Africa’s early childhood development (ECD) system during 2024. It reflects on progress made towards ensuring that young children—especially those most vulnerable—have access to quality, inclusive, and well-supported ECD services.
The report highlights key achievements across policy influence, programme implementation, partnerships, and learning, alongside the challenges navigated in a complex and evolving ECD landscape. It demonstrates how Ilifa Labantwana has worked collaboratively with government, civil society, and communities to advance systemic change and improve outcomes for children from conception to age five.
