Strengthening Enabling Environments
Definition
Refers to the social, political, budgetary, normative, and institutional determinants necessary to achieve results. It is critical to understand evolving cultural contexts, including the economic drivers and socio-political contextual factors that influence parenting uptake and delivery at scale (e.g., access to food, shelter, and safety). Providing parents with essential time, financial resources, emotional supports, and services to care for their children is also critical. Relevant laws and policies benefiting parents and children should address their needs throughout the life course (e.g., allowing for the payment of universal child benefits; supporting gender equality; targeted social protection interventions for families of children with disabilities; supporting affordable, accessible, quality childcare). Enabling environments can also be strengthened using strong data, research and evidence that can inform enhancements to existing programmes/services.
