Exposure to abuse has severe and lasting adverse effects on children, but interventions like parenting programmes are an effective approach for improving families' outcomes. However, the limited literature on parenting programmes in Nigeria suggests a gap between research and policies on child protection. Dr Isang Awah’s fellowship sought to address this gap by fostering collaboration between research and policy in Nigeria, and ultimately, using research to improve policies on child protection.

During the Fellowship, Dr Awah worked with the Gender, Adolescent, School Health and Elderly (GASHE) Division of Family Health Department at the Federal Ministry of Health to learn more about policy processes in Nigeria and provide technical assistance on how to improve outcomes for children and families through parenting programmes.

Dr Isang Awah works at the University of Oxford’s Department of Social Policy and Intervention where she serves as Head of Advocacy at the Global Parenting Initiative (GPI).
