Parents+ is the Bernard van Leer Foundation’s initiative that combines early years focused coaching activities for parents and other caregivers – using insights from behavioural science to improve impact – with at least one other service designed to meet a child’s and/or her parents’ basic needs. JatanSansthaan has been engaged as ‘Technical Partner’ for the Parents+ program in Udaipur. To achieve impact at scale in the early years, Parents+ program provisions that the technical partner works in conjunction with government – led services in a cost-effective manner. Parents+ seeks to engage with policymakers, civil society and other stakeholders to build structures that support all babies, toddlers and caregivers, together with key programs directed at specific vulnerable populations.
The Urban95 Phase-II& Parents+ Program has a Project Management Support Unit (PMSU) for the entire program duration, acting as local representatives of BvLF and will be managing and coordinating Urban95 Phase-II Program with strategic and operational requisites.
