Go Baby Go

Go Baby Go - Project Model

Go Baby Go (GBG) is a project model that aims to provide a strong foundation for kids in their first 2,000+ days of life (ages 0-6 years old). It strengthens knowledge, skills and resilience-promoting parenting behaviours so they can better fulfil their roles as first teachers and first protectors.

With a "dual approach" that includes group sessions and targeted home visits, Go Baby Go also provides caregivers with planning and self-care strategies which promote agency and well-being at the family and community levels.

Go Baby Go is a holistic parenting programme that can be implemented independently or integrated into health, nutrition, WASH, livelihoods and other relevant delivery platforms in developing, fragile and emergency contexts.
