Abstract

At present there are no parenting programmes that are both evidence-based and affordable for low- and middle-income countries, where the need is the greatest. Parenting for Lifelong Health aims to fill this gap. This article sets the context of violence and parenting in low- and middle-income countries, and describes the programmes currently being evaluated in South Africa.
