The aim of the Sinovuyo Caring Families Project is to develop and evaluate a parenting programme, informed by evidence-based principles, to reduce the risk of child maltreatment in isiXhosa communities of Cape Town, South Africa. Developed in collaboration with NGOs, governments, and communities, it will culturally adapt the latest available evidence demonstrating effectiveness of family-based parenting programmes to fit with the local population. Using a community-based participatory approach to intervention development, this project will culturally adapt evidence-based principles of effective parenting programmes to fit the local isiXhosa population. This balance between “fidelity” to evidence and “fit” to local population is essential for developing an effective programme that will meet the needs of the participants while incorporating the best available evidence. This adapted programme will be evaluated in a randomised controlled trial (n=296 parent/child dyads). Results will be disseminated to community groups, national organisations and governments, and internationally.
