Annual Preschool Health Promotion Review

The Preschool Health Promotion Setting is one of the 5 settings focused for health promotion by the Health Promotion Bureau. The progress of preschool health promotion settings development program is reviewed annually by the Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation unit. The key stakeholders representing health, early childhood development and preschool settings from provincial, district and divisional levels gather at the review to present the progress based on three key areas of evaluation: establishment, functionality and multi-sector engagement in implementation of preschool health promotion program. While progress is reviewed, many success stories and experiences are shared for wider learning. This year the annual preschool health promotion progress reviews started from 26th November 2024 where Western and Southern Provinces were reviewed. On 29th November Central, Uva and Sabaragamuwa Provinces, on 03rd December the North Western and North Central Provinces and on 10th December Northern and Eastern Provinces were reviewed. All officials from the different sectors were also appreciated by awarding a certificate of appreciation. UNICEF is the sole funding agency for this program.
