PATH is a
global nonprofit dedicated to achieving health equity. With more than 40 years
of experience forging multisector partnerships, and with expertise in science,
economics, technology, advocacy, and dozens of other specialties, PATH develops
and scales up innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing health
challenges.
Launched in
2016 by UNICEF and the World Bank Group, the Early Childhood Action Network
(ECDAN) is a global network that connects, gathers, disseminates, and advocates
for cross-sector solutions to improve the overall well-being of young children
and families, so that every young child is safe, well-nourished, healthy,
happy, and learning.
Since its
inception in 2016, hundreds of members of the early childhood development (ECD)
community have contributed recommendations for the type of network needed by
the ECD community to advance the goals of its agenda — moving from science to
scale and accelerating progress towards achieving the relevant Sustainable
Development Goals for early childhood development.
ECDAN is currently
hosted by PATH.
PATH is
seeking a Home-Based Child Care Project Manager to support the Global
Home-Based Child Care Project.
About the
Global Home-Based Child Care Project
Hundreds of
millions of children are cared for in homes around the world every day and yet
support for them and their carers is limited. This is a unique opportunity to
make a difference to the lives of these children by creating a movement to
support home-based care globally.
Home-based childcare
(HBCC) is a form of non-parental childcare that takes place within the home of
either the child or the provider, as opposed to a center. While global
data is scarce, anecdotal and other information indicates that HBCC represents
one of the most popular forms of childcare globally. In developing
countries, very few employed women have access to organized childcare or
nurseries (Lombardi
and Sammen 2019).
Despite its
prevalence and critical importance, HBCC is under supported, regulated, and
financed. This initiative seeks to effectively scale enabling environments for
HBCC by testing and scaling methods of building systems to support HBCC in
three different contexts, establishing a global learning community to share
learning tools and resources to support HBCC. Ultimately, we aim to strengthen
HBCC systems in 100 communities in the next 10 years.
The first phase of
the project will run for 18 months from January 2022 - July 2023 and will focus
on:
We are looking for a
Home-Based Child Care Lead to provide the entrepreneurial energy and the
expertise to help kick start this new project, forge strategic partnerships,

successful start to the project.
The HBCC Lead will
lead the HBCC Task Force, hosted by the Early Childhood Development Action
Network (ECDAN) and report to the
Executive Director. The role will involve close collaboration with project
partners Spring Impact, Nexial, home-based child care working groups in
