UNICEF's Vision for Elevating Parenting
A strategic note
About
UNICEF’s vision for integrated, multilevel programming moves beyond approaching parents as recipients of information or education, to a more
collaborative partnership where there is a co-construction of support for the child as well as for/with the parents themselves. Key features include:
- moving towards strengths-based rather than “deficit-focused” approaches
- employing a life course lens
- meeting systems where they are and elevating parenting support in existing platforms
- explicit articulation of gender-responsive and disability-inclusive approaches
- focus on culturally responsive community engagement and empowerment,
- and promoting enabling environments to support parents and caregivers.
