Uptake and Scale

Ensuring uptake and scaling of parenting programmes involves considering both supply-side factors (e.g., programme characteristics such as programme requirements, formats, delivery platforms etc.) as well as the demand side factors (e.g., policy and contextual affordances, as well as personal characteristics, skills and motivations). The scale-up phase also involves ensuring cost-effectiveness (e.g., via a cost-effectiveness analysis), efficacy (e.g., via an effectiveness study to ensure that the programme is still effective when scaled), and sustainability (e.g., through integration into existing platforms). Recognizing that one size does not fit all , it is also critical to ensure that the programme addresses the unique and diverse needs and circumstances of parents to enable successful uptake.  

Guiding questions and considerations

1.

What evidence exists to support the effectiveness of the programme?

2.

What conditions exist for scaling the programme (e.g., positive reception of the programme, political will, dedicated multi-year budgets etc.) How can partnerships with local organizations and stakeholders be leveraged for support?

3.

How is parental involvement being considered and integrated into the scale-up process? How can decisions regarding participation in parenting programmes affect sustainability?

4.

How can changing cultural/gender norms and attitudes impede or promote nurturing care and parenting? What are some practical steps to address barriers to scale?

5.

Which programme characteristics need to be adapted based on contextual and community-related factors to enhance effectiveness and scalability?

6.

How can the programme be integrated into existing policy frameworks and services?

7.

What are the long-term funding strategies to sustain the programme?
