314 – The Impact of Digital Parenting and the Importance of Adaptable Technology

Lily and David discuss the remarkable results of a digital parenting intervention in Tanzania, recently published in The Lancet, demonstrating substantial reductions in violence against children at a fraction of the cost of traditional programmes. They reflect on IDEMS’ role in developing the technology, the importance of adapting it to local communities to achieve high engagement, and how the lessons learned could help transform the way digital interventions are developed and scaled across different contexts.
