Innocenti Research Report Promoting Gender-Transformative Change through Social Protection: An analytical approach Published: 2022 Innocenti Research Report Social protection can reduce income poverty and food and economic insecurity, address financial barriers to accessing social services, and promote positive development outcomes throughout the life course – particularly for women and girls. But can it address preexisting gender inequalities through the design, implementation and financing of its programmes?To strengthen the evidence base ‘what works’, ‘how’ and ‘why’ for social protection to contribute to gender equality, this report proposes and presents an analytical approach to evidence generation on gender-responsive social protection for gender-transformative change. It builds on the Gender-Responsive Age-Sensitive Social Protection (GRASSP) conceptual framework, and on the theoretical, conceptual and empirical literature on gender and social protection. Structured as a socio-ecological framework, our approach presents three interconnected change pathways – at the individual, household and societal level – through which gender-responsive social protection can contribute to gender-transformative results, along with tailored design and implementation features, and underpinned by a set of change levers that existing evidence suggests can strengthen the gender-responsiveness of social protection systems. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 50 | Thematic area: Gender equality | Tags: finance, financial policy, financial resources, gender discrimination, gender equality, gender issues, gender-responsive programmes, implementation programmes, local finance, social protection, social protection programmes × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION 2022 Promoting Gender-Transformative Change through Social Protection: An analytical approach. , pp. 50.
Innocenti Working Papers Policy and service delivery implications for the implementation and scale-up of an adolescent parent support programme: a qualitative study in Eastern Cape, South Africa AUTHOR(S) Heidi Loening-Voysey; Jenny Doubt; Barnaby King; Lucie Cluver; Jasmina Byrne Published: 2018 Innocenti Working Papers This paper examines a four-year evidence-based study on an adolescent parenting support pilot programme known as Sinovuyo1 Teen. The parenting support programme aims to reduce violence inside and outside the home in a poor rural community in Eastern Cape, South Africa. This is one of the four working papers looking at data from a qualitative study that complemented a cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT). Both the study and the trial were conducted during the last year of the parenting support programme. The research question was: What are the policy and service delivery requirements and implications for scaling up the Sinovuyo Teen Parenting programme in South Africa and beyond? The primary data for this paper were collected through semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs) with key stakeholders, including programme implementers. Thematic analysis identified four themes, three of which are presented in this paper: programme model; programme fit in a service delivery system; and programme in local cultural and policy context. Although the findings show the Sinovuyo Teen Parenting programme was positively viewed, if it were to be scaled up and sustainable, the intervention would need to be grounded in established policies and systems. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 52 | Thematic area: Child Protection | Tags: adolescents, implementation programmes, parental guidance, parental responsibility, service delivery × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Heidi Loening-Voysey; Jenny Doubt; Barnaby King; Lucie Cluver; Jasmina Byrne 2018 Policy and service delivery implications for the implementation and scale-up of an adolescent parent support programme: a qualitative study in Eastern Cape, South Africa. , pp. 52.
Innocenti Global Seminar Early Childhood Development Revisited: From policy formulation to programme implementation AUTHOR(S) Cassie Landers; Pascale Fuertes; Cyril Dalais Published: 1996 Innocenti Global Seminar This is the report on an inter-agency workshop convened by the Education Cluster of UNICEF New York as a follow-up to the 1989 Innocenti Global Seminar, which investigated and reviewed the most recent scientific knowledge and conceptual approaches to early childhood development. The workshop’s twofold aim was to clarify the process between policy formulation and programming and to foster new alliances, or strengthen existing ones, with other organizations committed to improving children’s chances for healthy development. Specifically, the meeting undertook a detailed analysis of three accepted strategies: parent education, community partnerships and linkages with programmes for vulnerable children. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 72 | Thematic area: Early Childhood | Tags: child related policies, child survival and development, early childhood development, education, implementation programmes, right to survival and development | Publisher: UNICEF ICDC, Florence × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Cassie Landers; Pascale Fuertes; Cyril Dalais 1996 Early Childhood Development Revisited: From policy formulation to programme implementation. , pp. 72.
