March 2023 – WHO and UNICEF produced The Nurturing Care Practice Guide. It is designed for managers and service providers who are responsible for or provide health and nutrition services for young children and their caregivers at any level. It was developed to respond to requests from practitioners and country teams who have learned about the Nurturing Care Framework and want to understand how to adapt health and nutrition services to be supportive of nurturing care and strengthen caregivers’ capacity. It is part of series of resources developed to support implementation of the Framework that were launched in March 2023.
The Practice Guide is intended to be used as a complement to existing training packages. The Guide is available as a complete document, by section, or by service type.
