ENHANCE Project is an innovative and collaborative approach that emphasizes the shared nurturing care tasks undertaken by both male and female caregivers. It operates within the framework of the First 1000 Days (F1KD) Manual of Operation, which focuses on optimizing children’s holistic growth and development. It aims to enhance alternative early learning opportunities and experiences for children. By facilitating access to Early Childhood Development (ECD) modalities, particularly in home-based settings, the project aims to create meaningful early learning experiences.
The ENHANCE Project aligns with government-mandated programs led by various bodies, including Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), Provincial/Municipal/City Nutrition Action Offices and Other Locally Mandated Bodies. The project synergizes with these offices to ensure coordinated and collaborative efforts in promoting children’s health, nurturing care, nutrition, protection and well-being. This strategy leverages existing structures and partnerships to maximize its impact.
