Supporting strengthened workforce capacities and integrated services
Refers to building skills of front-line health, nutrition, education, social services workers and child-care providers to support parents and strengthen systems. Front-line workers include informal workers, paraprofessionals and those working in government and businesses. Skills building can also be achieved through certification systems and the development of training packages.
