Knowledge goods to support ongoing and planned Reach Up implementations

Welcome to our portal

Welcome to the Reach Up: Early Childhood Parenting intervention knowledge products portal. These resources include several communication, advocacy and capacity building documents, that are made available to programme managers to aid in scaling their existing programmes and to prospective implementers who are interested in implementing the programme in a new setting. The programme provides a comprehensive training package for trainers, supervisors, and home visitors. Based on the Jamaica Home Visit intervention which has substantial impact evidence, Reach Up has been used in several countries where it has provided evidence of its feasibility and lessons that can guide future implementation.

Global Collaboration

The knowledge goods were developed in collaboration with members of the Reach Up Global Community which was formed following a 3-day Knowledge Exchange Meeting in October 2019, with the support of LEGO Foundation. The meeting bought together academics and country representatives and programme implementers from the Reach Up sites in the various countries where the programme has been implemented (Bangladesh, Bolivia, Brazil, China, Colombia, Guatemala, India, Jamaica, Jordan, Kenya, Lebanon, Madagascar, Peru, Syria, Turkey and Zimbabwe).

Representatives from LEGO and other international agencies involved in early childhood development, such as the World Bank Group, Child Fund and Inter-American Development Bank, were also present at the meeting.
