This project aims to promote father’s active involvement in parenting activities in Lebanon through a community-based pilot intervention targeting men with pre-adolescent children (aged 8-12) in partnership with municipalities and social clubs. The pilot will involve a process evaluation to test the effectiveness of a community-run parenting program that provides behaviorally informed tools and activities for men to engage confidently in parenting. The pilot will leverage existing community spaces, events, and activities to build a program that integrates parenting activities that will make fathers’ active involvement in parenting visible to other men and members of the community.
