The Replication. We Scaled Up, But Still Learning

The goal of the project is to promote playful parenting practices for parents/caregivers of children between 0- 8 years through remote and in-person activities aiming to improve the early learning and development of children and strengthen caregivers’ knowledge and practice COVID-19 prevention and response.

Currently, the project is stationed in targeted groups of caregivers at community level. We are closely working with 30 locally-based partners and collaborating with ministries of Education and Health with a target to reach 56,755 direct beneficiaries, 59% of which are children, and over one million indirect beneficiaries in the most vulnerable communities hosting marginalized, internally displaced people and refugees in 4 countries: Brazil, Ethiopia, Honduras, and Uganda.

In June 2022, ChildFund International hosted the first regional Learning Hub webinars, bringing together 91 participants from 20 ChildFund country offices, 3 international agencies (The Lego Foundation, World Bank & UNICEF), 2 government agencies (Ministry of Women, Children, and Social Affairs in Ethiopia, National Curriculum Development centre in Uganda) and 44 partner & Civil society organisations from Eastern Africa and Latin America.
