Global Parenting Initiative
The Global Parenting Initiative (GPI) is a five-year research-within-implementation project aiming to provide access to free, evidence-based, playful parenting support to promote child learning and prevent violence at scale in the Global South.
Our core partners include the University of Oxford, the University of Cape Town, Makerere University, Ateneo de Manila University, McMaster University, the National Institute for Medical Research Tanzania, Stellenbosch University, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Peace Culture Foundation, IDEMS, Clowns Without Borders South Africa, and Parenting for Lifelong Health. The GPI also works closely with UNICEF, the WHO, the Global Partnership to End Violence Against Children, and Early Childhood Development Action Network.
The GPI is funded by the LEGO Foundation, Oak Foundation, The Human Safety Net, the World Childhood Foundation, the UKRI Global Challenges Research Fund, and UNICEF.
