FAMILY EDUCATION IN THE FIRST 1000 DAYS OF LIFE UNICEF

The First 1,000 Days of Life Family Education Program aims to improve the capacity of cadres and parents in caring for and nurturing children aged 0-24 months. Training materials are based on field surveys of parents’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices in caring for and nurturing their children.

The facilitator training activities are held using an andragogical approach (adult learning) by providing opportunities to share experiences, knowledge and skills among participants.

This program was implemented in 2017-2018 in 20 sub-districts in Bogor Regency. As an exit strategy, we trained 100 cadres (91 women and 9 men) as trainers so they could share their knowledge, experience, and skills in the community. A total of 600 facilitation sessions on the 1000 HPK program were held by trained facilitators and attended by parents (7,886 women and 369 men).

During the program, the F2H team trained 100 facilitators, consisting of 91 women and 9 men. The 600 sessions were held, attended by 7,886 women and 369 men.
