Real Reform for ECD Podcast

Five Years of the RR4ECD Movement


Listen Later

Five years into the Real Reform for ECD (RR4ECD) movement, we sit down with Tess Peacock—founding member and Director of Equality Collective—for an insightful reflection on what it really takes to build a powerful, lasting movement. How do you sustain impact over time? What role does an active steering committee play in driving change?

From the movement’s beginnings in 2020 to navigating the ECD function shift, organising through a pandemic, and uniting diverse coalition partners, Tess takes us behind the scenes of the challenges, victories, and lessons learned. We explore how Real Reform for ECD continues to honour the mandate of ECD practitioners, push forward key campaigns, and shape the future of early childhood development in South Africa. Join us for this deep dive into five years of activism, advocacy, and collective action!

Catch up on The Right to Nutrition Series where we explored the right to nutrition and the state's obligation that flows from this right, what constitutes adequate nutrition, and various implementation models that the government could use to ensure nutrition reaches every child attending an ECD programme.
