Scaling Up an Inclusive Childcare Policy Framework for the Informal Sector in Benin (CPGESI) - Impact Story 8

This ACT CoP Impact Story presents the key impacts from the Scaling Care Innovations in Africa Project ‘Scaling Up an Inclusive Childcare Policy Framework for the Informal Sector in Benin (CPGESI)‘.

This project aims to remove a structural barrier to the economic empowerment of women
working in Benin’s informal sector: the lack of affordable, flexible and high-quality
childcare services tailored to their working conditions. By combining the implementation
of a pilot project with evidence generation and structured policy engagement, the project
frames childcare not only as a social service but also as a strategic tool for economic
transformation and gender equality.
