Panama’s government, through the office of the First Lady and the Secretary of Social Development, sealed the alliance between governmental entities, the private sector and civil society for the implementation of early childhood public policies in the country. This Alliance, also known as the Early Childhood national Council, will work for the education, health and nutrition of children between 0 and 6 years old, and will favor the joint work of public and private institutions that currently support early childhood, in order to align common goals and avoid duplicity of actions.

ALAS congratulates the government of Panama for undertaking this important initiative that constitutes a significant advance in the goal of accomplishing universal coverage of programs for children younger than 6 years old.
