Assessment of Play To Grow Flex Programme
REFNo: SS3339ES

Inform RTP on next steps for Play to Grow.,Review the relevance, contextual appropriateness, and quality of the programme and identify any evidence of promise.,The problem being studied is the feasibility of implementing an intervention that provides training and support to parents of 3-6-year-old children in conflict-affected districts of Uganda. In these areas, children face heightened vulnerabilities due to instability, displacement, and lack of consistent care. The intervention aims to support parents in fostering their children’s psychosocial well-being through play-based strategies. It is currently being piloted in Isingiro and Adjumani. In the context of the pilot, we need to address questions about whether the program is feasible, relevant, appropriate, has enough quality and has a clear model, before further implementation steps are undertaken.,
