(to edit and update this)- PfR App is an Implementation research to test the transferability of the Parenting for Lifelong Health human-digital architecture to build similar digital and hybrid versions for Parenting for Respectability. Beneficiaries will primarily be caregivers of children between the ages of 0 and 17.The PfR-Digital study will examine the utility of digital delivery options for scaling-up the Parenting for Respectability (PfR) programme to address both violence against children and intimate partner violence. Formative and pre-post outcome evaluations have found the programme highly promising and both government and NGOs have expressed interest in scaling it. However, until now, delivery has been limited to in-person delivery, resulting in sub-optimal reach. Digital platforms would greatly facilitate larger scale delivery, addressing three main barriers:

The absence of resources to conduct in-person delivery at scale
COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, which have affected in-person group-based delivery
Limited access and participation in in-person sessions by parents with busy work commitments, particularly urban based parents
