World Vision Nurturing Care Groups Project Model
In 2018, the Nurturing Care Framework was released by UNICEF, the World Bank, WHO, ECDAN and the PMNCH. This framework focuses on and promotes integration of interventions in health, nutrition, WaSH, responsive caregiving, early learning, security and safety. There has been a growing body of evidence (in part from the Clean, Fed, and Nurtured movement) showing that integration of multisectoral activities – such as combining nutrition supplementation with early child stimulation – can produce better outcomes for complex outcomes (e.g., stunting) than single sector activities alone. In World Vision, we believe that the CG approach can be used as a platform to promote behaviours in each of these domains, and created a training manual for a highly-integrated version of the approach, the Nurturing Care Groups project model.

Ethiopia FH Care Group Curricula | Care Group Orientation and Essential Nutrition Action (ENAs) | Complementary Foods and Micro-nutrients | Essential Care for Mothers and Newborns: Pregnancy and Postpartum | Essential Hygiene Actions (EHAs): Personal, Environmental Hygiene & Management of Diarrhea
The following care group modules were developed by Food for the Hungry for Ethiopia care groups of 10-12 women. The materials are designed to teach household- level behaviors to prevent maternal and child malnutrition and death. The materials are used to teach mothers in small groups once every two weeks for up to two years. Games, activities and discussions noted in the flip chart are described in detail in the corresponding lesson plan. Note: All flip charts contain culturally appropriate illustrations for the specific country. There are some variations in images from the English to Amharic documents as the illustrator updated images once the translation was completed.
