Abstract

This study sought to generate initial quantitative evidence of the effectiveness of the Parenting for Respectability Program in modifying key outcome measures on caregiving, parent-child relationships and relationships between partners and intimate partner violence (IPV). Through this project, the researchers tested the program to provide further evidence of program acceptability, the plausibility of the measures, the intended mechanism of change and the effects of the intervention on key outcomes associated with sexual and gender-based violence, in particular violence against children. The project was delivered in central Uganda, near Kampala city, in collaboration with SOS Children’s Village, a local NGO working in Wakiso District.
