    Care Groups: A Reference Guide for Practicioners

    This manual was developed as a training resource for designing, training, implementing and monitoring Care Group (CG) programs. It seeks to help CG approach implementers to clearly understand the structure of the CG approach, how to establish CGs, how to monitor the work of CGs and assess their impact, and how to maintain the quality of the approach through supportive supervision and quality control.

  • Results in Improving Hand Washing with Soap Using Care Groups

    This presentation describes the results of the CORE Group Social & Behavioral Change Working Group’s “Powerful to Change Analysis” of Hand Washing with Soap, looking at USAID-funded child survival projects that have had the best results in HWWS in order to identify some of the common elements in their approaches.  One commonality in these projects was having a systematic home visitation strategy (as used in Care Groups).

  • Care Group Indicator Gap Closure

    This presentation compares the indicator gap closure (i.e., performance index) on 13 “Rapid CATCH” indicators measured by 58 USAID-funded child survival projects ending between 2003 and 2009, and nine child survival projects (most from the same period, but one ending in 2010) using Care Groups.
