Strengthening the care environment

Through our Strengthening the care environment ("Care") programme, we aim to build the capacity of vulnerable parents, families and communities to care for their children.

Among other issues, the Care programme encompasses projects dealing with HIV/AIDS, parenting skills, teenage parenting, children of imprisoned parents, children without parents, and children affected by displacement and migration. See the framework summary (pdf or html) for more details.
