The problem
Intervention: Familia Bora: a multicomponent, structured, manualized community-based group parenting program for fathers and their partners with children aged 0-2 years, addressing nurturing care, couples' relationships, parental mental health, and gender equality
Who it was tested with: Couples with young children aged 0-2 years in Mwanza, Tanzania; formative design phase involved 381 parents (53% mothers, 47% fathers) from 13 communities.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"We piloted and iteratively refined individual sessions through 54 rapid pretesting cycles with 381 parents (53% mothers, 47% fathers) across 13 communities and incorporated participant feedback to continuously improve content and delivery." This describes a structured participatory design approach that tested content iteratively but gathered practitioner experience and formative feedback rather than measuring intervention outcomes against a baseline or comparison group.
This is a development and co-design study without outcome data; no baseline or comparison group was used; no formal evaluation of intervention effectiveness, feasibility, or acceptability has been conducted; the study only covers the design phase, not implementation or impact
