About the INSPIRE series:
In January and February ChildHub features the INSPIRE package: The INSPIRE package represents an evidence-based approach to revitalizing, focusing, and expanding current multisectoral efforts to prevent and respond to violence against children. It was developed in collaboration with the WHO, CDC, the Global Partnership to End Violence Against Children, PEPFAR, PAHO, UNICEF, UNODC, USAID, Together for Girls, and the World Bank. The package is based on convergence between these agencies and partnerships in the strategies they have been recommending, and presents the best available evidence.
The seven strategies are:
1) implementation and enforcement of laws
2) norms and values
3) safe environments
4) parent and caregiver support
5) income and economic strengthening
6) response and support services, and
7) education and life skills.
These seven evidence-based strategies are complemented by two cross-cutting ones: multi-sectoral coordination, and monitoring & evaluation. The core INSPIRE document is now complemented by a detailed INSPIRE Implementation handbook setting out how to select and implement interventions from each of the seven strategies, and a compendium of Indicators by which to measure their impact and uptake.
Here you can read all of the materials of INSPIRE.
This is a third webinar in this series, the recording of the past two webinars on strategy number 7 and strategy number 3 is available!
