February 2021 – Promundo and Plan International collaborated to produce a programming and influencing package with resources developed for programs that aim to increase male engagement in nurturing care and early childhood development (ECD), as well as in maternal health and well-being.
It was developed in recognition that men’s engagement in ECD and maternal health is a crucial entry point for challenging gender inequality, norms and roles that are limiting and discriminatory, particularly for girls and women, but also for boys and men. The document is informed by growing evidence that men’s positive engagement in nurturing care, unpaid care work and maternal health and well-being brings benefits for young children, women, families and men themselves.
The package is available in English, French, and Spanish.
