…Participates in World Bank/FG IDEAS-TVET MoU signing
Maple Leaf Early Years Foundation has reaffirmed its commitment to advancing Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) in Nigeria.
The Foundation stated this following its participation in a two-day Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) contract signing workshop organised by the Federal Ministry of Education/World Bank under the IDEAS-TVET Project in Abuja.
The event brought together successful ECCD Training Service Providers from across the country, with Maple Leaf Early Years Foundation emerging as one of the selected organisations to implement the World Bank-supported ECCD training programme.
The workshop provided participants with in-depth knowledge on project implementation procedures, contractual obligations, safeguarding and child protection, communication methods for children with diverse needs, reporting and monitoring requirements, the National Skills Qualification (NSQ) Framework, and the roles and responsibilities of Early Childhood practitioners and Training Service Providers.
Speaking after the workshop, the Executive Director of Maple Leaf Early Years Foundation, Mrs. Ifedinma Nwigwe, described the engagement as a significant milestone for the Foundation.
She said the training had strengthened the Foundation’s capacity to deliver quality ECCD programmes in line with the National ECCD Framework and the objectives of the IDEAS-TVET Project.
Mrs. Nwigwe noted that the knowledge gained during the workshop would enable the Foundation to effectively implement the World Bank-supported ECCD training programme while adhering to national standards and project expectations.
She reaffirmed Maple Leaf Early Years Foundation’s commitment to partnering with the Federal Ministry of Education and other stakeholders to strengthen the capacity of ECCD practitioners and contribute to improving learning outcomes for young children across Nigeria.
“We are very grateful for the opportunity to be selected as one of the implementers of the World Bank-supported ECCD training programme. We appreciate the confidence reposed in our capacity.
“But we are equally very happy that this workshop was put together to strengthen the capacity of all selected organisations. It was quite helpful and now we are good to go,” Mrs. Nwigwe concluded.
