The ICDP programme is designed to identify and reactivate local cultural practices, in order to stimulate development that is authentic, sustainable and long lasting. The task of ICDP training is to sensitise, build competence and confidence in members of a community or an existing child caring system, so as to withdraw after some time and transfer the project to the local resource persons.
"ICDP Ghana have incorporated the ICDP programme into their trainings of caregivers. In all our various programmes we add the ICDP caregiving practices emphasizing the empathy based approach to care."— Joyce Larnyoh, Country Director, ICDP Ghana
To provide human care that enhances the total development of the child.
A society where children's wellbeing is achieved through the release of empathy by caregivers.
The project provides for the training in blended mode (in presence and online in live and asynchronous mode) of 35 science teachers under 30 from Ghana. Participants had the opportunity to acquire new knowledge and skills relating to science teaching and in particular to hands-on learning carried out with low-cost and easily available materials.
On the 9th April 2024, ICDP Ghana along with Ultrasound Consultants International LLC inaugurated the Safestart project at Kitase in the Akuapem South Municipality marking the beginning of the Project.
The programme officially began with a Mapping of Beneficiaries and Orientation exercise in the Yilo Krobo Municipal District. This first step was intentional — ensuring that the women who needed support most were seen, heard, and included.
