Support to Semillas de Apego Program

closed

The goal of this technical cooperation (TC) is to support activities related to the implementation and evaluation of a scale-up pilot of Semillas de Apego. Specifically, Universidad de los Andes has requested Bank´s technical cooperation to support three activities: (i) the design and preparation of a path to scale, which will be carried out in consultation and collaboration with ICBF and local ECD service providers, and that will lead to a scale-up pilot; (ii) the implementation of a scale-up pilot in Tumaco, Nariño; Bogotá, and one or two more municipalities (to be defined); and (iii) the data collection for the evaluation of the scale-up pilot.Together, this project will provide evidence of the potential for scale-up and cost-effectiveness of Semillas de Apego as a strategy to protect and promote children and their development in communities exposed to violence, and an implementation guideline and protocol for an actual scale-up of the program.
