This webinar will introduce recently published WHO guidelines on parenting interventions to prevent maltreatment and enhance parent-child child relationships; provide a state-of the science overview of the underlying evidence that informs the guideline recommendations; offer snapshots of selected national and local initiatives to scale up evidence-based parenting interventions and reflect on how best to further advance uptake.
The webinar will be of interest to everyone working on advancing the uptake of evidence-based parenting interventions, and the following stakeholders in particular:
o Relevant government personnel involved in either establishing parenting interventions or approving the implementation of these by non-state actors. This can include personnel responsible for providing normative guidance and training for intervention delivery at the national level, and personnel working at subnational levels, and
o Donors, project developers, programme managers, and outcome evaluators from research organizations, nongovernmental organizations, faith-based organizations, and bilateral and multilateral development assistance agencies.
