Together, we shape a safer digital future for every child.
At the Abu Dhabi Early Childhood Authority (ECA), our vision is clear: every young child thrives in a safe, nurturing, and empowering environment. The Children’s Digital Wellbeing Pact turns this vision into action—uniting technology companies, educators, parents, and policymakers to create age-appropriate, secure, and enriching online experiences for children aged 0–8.
In recognition of the rapidly evolving digital landscape and its potential risks to children's safety and wellbeing, ECA has been working together with the UAE Digital Wellbeing Council on the Children Digital Wellbeing Pact.
The pact, which was officially launched on 12th of February in the World Government Summit, aims to create a safer digital environment for children by addressing 3 main strategic objectives.
Protect Children Online
Establish and maintain secure, age-appropriate online experiences that enhance protections from digital risks and empower parents to actively participate.
Minimize Harmful Content
Minimize children's exposure to inappropriate content, cyberbullying, and adverse online experiences that may impact their wellbeing.
Advocating on Behalf of Children and Ensuring their Digital Rights
Safeguard children's digital rights with focus on privacy, security, and responsible digital citizenship.
The Abu Dhabi Early Childhood Authority (ECA) is a government entity, based in Abu Dhabi, that supports holistic early childhood development. We do this by developing policies and laws, informing decision-making through research and transforming behavior.
