Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Moments that Matter (MTM) Program

MTM aims to empower caregivers, enhance nurturing care practices, and ultimately improve early child development (ECD). MTM will be targeted to primary caregivers of children aged 0-3 years and implemented over an 18 month period. The primary program delivery agent will be local volunteers ("ECD promoters") who will facilitate monthly peer group sessions and conduct monthly home visits to participants residing in their village. The MTM curriculum covers topics relating to responsive caregiving, early learning, and child security \& safety, and gender equality. Faith leaders will also be trained to promote nurturing care and ECD within their sermons and Bible study groups. ECD committees will be also formed among leaders across various sectors (e.g., health, education, faith institutions) to promote nurturing care and ECD at the community level and coordinate MTM activities with program staff, delivery agents, and other existing service providers (e.g., community health volunteers).
