Agribusiness plus parenting classes cuts child maltreatment in Tanzania

Integrating parenting classes with training in the business of agriculture significantly reduced child maltreatment in rural Tanzania. Positive parenting sessions have long been combined with cash transfers, but rarely with sustainable rural business models. The project, called SPACAPS, could offer a new model uniting the fight against child maltreatment and poverty across the global south — and accelerate rural development in the process.
