Evaluation of the Moments That Matter Program in Kenya

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This cluster-randomized trial aims to evaluate the impact of the Moments That Matter® (MTM) Program on early child development and caregiving outcomes in two selected counties in western Kenya.

Clinical Trial Description

Approximately 43% of children under-5 are at risk of not attaining their developmental potential. Parenting interventions are recommended for improving early childhood development during the earliest years of life. However, there is limited evidence regarding the delivery and effectiveness of parenting interventions to promote early child development outcomes in Kenya specifically. This cluster-randomized trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Moments That Matter® (MTM) Program on early child development and caregiving outcomes in two selected counties in western Kenya. The MTM Program will be implemented by the Anglican Church of Kenya Development Services - Nyanza (ADS-Nyanza), a faith-based organization focused on supporting integrated community-based programs to support the health, wellbeing, and development of the most vulnerable children and families. Various stakeholders - including community volunteers, faith leaders, and ECD committees - will be mobilized and trained to deliver nurturing care and ECD services over an 18-month program period. This trial will enroll primary caregivers of children 0-18 months of age and longitudinally follow the study cohort to ultimately compare changes in early child development and caregiving outcomes between the intervention and waitlist-control study arms. In addition to the impact evaluation, a qualitative implementation evaluation will be conducted to assess quality of delivery, identify factors that influence program effectiveness, and determine program potential for sustainability and scale-up. ;
