CRS: STRENGTHENING FAITH SYSTEM FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT (ECD)
General Background.
Catholic
Relief Services (CRS) has been honored to serve Tanzanian communities
since 1962 in a diverse range of sectors from Health, WASH,
Ag/Livelihoods, Nutrition, Early Childhood Development (ECD) and Youth
Empowerment/Entrepreneurship. With ECD, CRS implements interventions at
national, regional and village levels.

Program description.
Since
2022, CRS has been implementing the program namely ‘Strengthening Faith
Systems for Early Childhood Development in Tanzania, Kenya and
Mozambique’. The goal is that faith-based systems are leveraged to
contribute to improved Early Childhood Development outcomes for children
0-3 years in Tanzania, Kenya and Mozambique. The program has been
building capacities of faith leaders to deliver quality ECD knowledge
and skills to their congregants and communities. This was done through
capacity building trainings and ongoing coaching and mentorships at
national, regional and county/ district levels.

The program has
also been working with faith networks to jointly identify and
incorporate ECD sessions within faith networks’ systems (with their
member churches and/ or mosques) i.e., during pre-marital sessions,
sermons, faith-based seminars and/ or youth religious session – to
mention a few. This was realized through sharing information about how
faith networks function during consultative meetings – leading to
proposing opportunities within each network to deliver ECD knowledge and
skills to adolescent, adult caregivers, and communities.

challenges and recommendations about the faith systems and leaders
