TECDEN works collaboratively with the government, other networks and coalitions, the private sector, development partners and other potential stakeholders to influence policies, programmes and practices related to early childhood development (ECD) in Tanzania. It advocates for policies, laws, regulations and frameworks that improve service delivery to young children through engaging in policy dialogue at all levels, mobilising TECDEN members and other ECD stakeholders to actively promote ECD, collecting, generating and disseminating information, and strengthening the capacities of members and other ECD stakeholders.

TECDEN supports local civil society organisations working at the community level, providing them with a transparent platform for financial transactions, ensuring accountability and assuring funders that their grants will be used according to agreed terms.
