The Global Parenting Initiative (GPI) is a five-year research-within-implementation project aiming to provide access to free, evidence-based, playful parenting support to promote child learning and prevent violence at scale in the Global South.
The Global Parenting Initiative has 6 core themes:
1. Evaluate: Research-within-implementation studies to increase the evidence of the effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, and scalability of human-digital playful parenting programmes
2. Innovate: Build a cohesive ecosystem of agile, adaptable, and scalable evidence-based human-digital parenting interventions, by developing and optimising playful parenting technologies
3. Facilitate: Create centres of excellence in playful parenting in the Global South, and shifting expertise, leadership, and power from the Global North to South
4. Advocate: Create an enabling environment for regional and country-level policymaking to support the sustained institutionalisation of playful parenting programmes
5. Generate: Build a sustainable infrastructure to support scale-up and capacity building of human-digital playful parenting programmes
6. Accelerate: Support the scale-up of low-cost, open-source playful parenting programmes embedded into national government and NGO service delivery systems
