Design
Designing a parenting programme involves several essential steps, including defining the programme objectives and theory of change, developing the programme content (e.g., subject matter development, content sources, and content messages), and specifying the programme delivery mode, dosage, location, and alignment with the needs of the participants. Ensuring the reliability and validity of the parenting programme’s design are critical in ensuring that objectives are met as expected.
Guiding questions and considerations
1.
How will the programme define its objectives and identify key stakeholders, and what behaviors does it seek to encourage or discourage among parents?
2.
What are the key features of parenting that the programme will target, and how will these features be relevant to the target population? How will key stakeholders be involved?
3.
What settings will the programme be delivered in, and how will entry points across health, nutrition, and education platforms influence delivery mode and effectiveness? Have the delivery platforms for the programme been identified and agreed upon?
4.
What approaches will be used to develop the programme, noting the importance of cultural responsiveness, and building on indigenous wisdom and knowledge to achieve the programme's objectives?
5.
In what ways are parents actively involved in the design of the programme? How will the design of the programme empower participants and promote uptake, ownership, and sustainability?
