Resettlement Programmes
UK - Home Office
The Syrian Vulnerable Peoples Scheme (SVPRS) and Vulnerable Childrens Resettlement Scheme (VCRS) are programmes designed to support the Government's aim to resettle vulnerable refugees from the Syrian conflict. The commitment to resettle 20,000 refugees from Syria by 2020 was made by the Government in September 2015. Funding enables authorities to provide refugees who have fled conflict and persecution with a safe environment and the chance to rebuild their lives. The funding pays for food, shelter and training for up to 12 months. By the end of September 2019, over 18,000 refugees had found safety in the UK to rebuild their lives as part of the Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme. The Home Office is on-track to deliver the full VPRS commitment by the end of 2020.

End Violence Against Children (EVAC Fund)
UK - Home Office
The UK Home Office recognises the moral and operational imperative to support the global fight against online child sexual exploitation (CSE). As such, the Home Office has committed £40 million towards the UNICEF hosted End Violence Against Children Fund (EVAC) to support activities intending to build international capacity to tackle online CSE. The EVAC's strategy for supporting international action aligned to the WePROTECT Global Alliance's (WPGA) strategy for national action. The WePROTECT Global Alliance combines expertise from industry, law enforcement, government and civil society to determine the capabilities required at country level to effectively respond to the threat of online CSE. Projects funded by the EVAC fund must demonstrate how they support the implementation of the WPGA's Model National Response.

A school closer to home: using mealtimes to foster language development, improve girls' nutrition and align home and school in rural Kenya and Zambia
UK - Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS)
We develop a new way to address educational disadvantage in rural Africa, through a collaboration between academics from Kenya, Zambia and the UK, teachers, families and community groups. The connection between home and school is key to sustainable education: (i) parents must recognise the school's priorities if they are to support their child's continuing education, (ii) teachers need to understand their pupils' home environment so they can build on positive home experiences and (iii) schools must build on children's existing skills and knowledge and fit with their goal of a successful life in their community. There is currently a serious disconnect between home and school in Africa and this is exacerbated in rural Kenya and Zambia by the predominance of non-local teachers who often don't speak pupils' native languages. We aim to connect home and school learning by targeting Early Childhood Education and Development programmes (ECDE; age 4 - 6). Unlike primary and secondary schools, ECDE centres recruit teachers from the local community. The relationship between parents and teachers is closest in ECDE settings, providing a crucial opportunity to build bridges between home and school. It is also a critical opportunity for mitigating early disadvantages for girls and empowering females in leadership roles since ECDE teachers are predominantly female. We prioritise language and nutrition as fundamental to all later learning, and aim to (i) identify positive practices in the home that benefit early language development and nutrition and (ii) to work together with ECDE teachers as researchers to empower them to develop teacher and parent networks to share best practice in school and at home. We target mealtimes for our observations of behaviour and language since they are a particularly rich time for social interaction, and the focus on eating gives an authentic setting for natural communication. Our objectives are (i) to measure home and school mealtime behaviour and language to identify practices that are most crucial for raising the quality of language children are exposed to (e.g., whether adults and children sit together; whether they have a television) (ii) to observe eating behaviours in the home, assess the extent to which girls' eat less food, or less nutritious foods, and identify practices that raise levels of female nutrition (e.g., girls may eat more if they share food as a family, rather than when girls and women eat separately) (iii) to work together with our teacher-researchers and community advisors to co-develop a teacher-network and parent outreach programme, based on evidence from objectives 1 and 2. The aim is to raise awareness and share practices that increase the quality of language children are exposed to at home and in school and raise levels of female nutrition, motivated by evidence of gender inequalities. Objective 3 will be achieved firstly by working together to identify key messages that are culturally appropriate and achievable (e.g., switch the TV off before eating at home; encourage teachers to sit together with pupils when eating in ECDE centres). Second, by working together in practitioner networks, guidance will be developed to inform a parent outreach programme to be shared with well-established groups in the community. The network will also provide a platform for teachers to conduct their own research, share research findings and discuss best practice. Importantly, it will provide a vital link to teachers in primary and secondary education, to develop continuity in children's education. Finally, the evidence base we provide through objectives 1 and 2, and the networks created in objective 3 provide a powerful basis for contributing to the development of the new ECDE curriculum in Kenya and to lobby for similar priorities in Zambia.

Developing a policy to reduce the salt content of food consumed outside the home in Malaysia
UK - Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS)
Salt intake in Malaysia is very high, with an average intake of around 9g per day. A high salt intake raises blood pressure and high blood pressure increases the risk of developing a cardiovascular disease (CVD), which includes stroke and heart disease. Almost a third of adults have high blood pressure in Malaysia and CVD is the main cause of death and disability, which places a huge burden on communities and health services. We previously assessed awareness and knowledge of salt in Malaysia. The majority of the population knew that eating too much salt could cause health problems but more than half thought they consumed just the right amount of salt. We also found that foods consumed outside the home e.g. from restaurants are major contributors of salt to the typical diet and the majority of the population eat out on a regular basis. The salt content of food consumed outside the home is likely to be very high, but without nutrition labelling consumers are unaware of the salt content. We will interview stakeholders across the country to determine what factors they feel might prevent a policy to reduce salt levels in the out of home sector and we will use this data to develop a strategy, addressing all issues raised. We will then gain commitment from policy makers to implement our strategy as policy. To ensure engagement and support for the policy, we will organise workshops to explain to chefs and other food industry representatives why salt should be reduced, and the methods they can use to reduce salt in food. Our work will benefit the entire population - almost everyone stands to benefit from a reduction in salt intake as almost everyone eats far more salt than recommended.

Improving the Quality of Universal Home Visiting: The case of Creciendo con Nuestros Hijos (CNH) in Ecuador
UK - Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS)
It is well established that the first years of life lay the basis for lifelong development. However, many children in developing countries are exposed to poverty, malnutrition, illnesses, and un-stimulating home environments. These factors are likely to have a detrimental effect on children's cognitive, motor, physical, and socio-emotional development, thus hindering them from reaching their full developmental potential. As adults, they are more likely to provide fewer adequate stimulation and resources for their children, thus contributing to the intergenerational transmission of poverty and inequality. A consolidated body of research has provided evidence that interventions in the early years of life can improve well-being across the life course by promoting early childhood development. The most effective interventions provide direct learning experiences to children and their families. In the last few decades, home-visiting programmes have grown in popularity in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and elsewhere. While small-scale trials have shown sustained long-term results, however the important question remains as to whether such results can be achieved at scale. The focus on monitoring is critical, since the impact of these programs might be weakened by implementation challenges across a diversity of settings, human resources, systems, and geographical configurations, both within and across countries. An important research and policy agenda is therefore to monitor, report and sustain the performance of the home visitors, especially when the programmes are run at scale. In this research, we propose to co-design, set up and use a sustainable monitoring system for a large-scale home visiting programme for disadvantaged children in Ecuador: Creciendo con Nuestros Hijos (CNH). This is a home visiting program which targets pregnant women and children of ages 0 to 36 months with weekly visits. The home visitors provide counselling for caregivers regarding child development, healthy behaviours, and proper nutrition; and promote awareness of other social programs. CNH has been in place for more than twenty years, and is currently reaching almost 200,000 children; however, a centralised system for monitoring and reporting key performance indicators has never been put in place. In this project, we propose a partnership between an interdisciplinary academic team of experts in early interventions and home visiting from University College London, together with the Ministry of Economic and Social Inclusion (MIES) of Ecuador and J-PAL Latin America (JPAL-LAC), to pursue this important goal. In the first part of the project, we will set up an Information and Reporting System (IRS) for CNH. First, we will co-develop with the programme staff and key stakeholders a performance indicators and systems outcomes framework, which identifies the relevant data to be collected. This will include both data on the program implementation, such as frequency, duration and content of the visits (currently not recorded), and data on children's growth and cognitive development (now collected in paper format). The appropriate software app will be developed for the tablets and the home visitors will be trained in their use. In the second part of the project, we will use the CNH-IRS to improve the quality of the home visiting program. First, we will co-design the template for a standardised reporting card and examine how much variation there is in programme quality; whether certain observable characteristics of the home visitors are associated with better performance; and whether better performance indicators are associated with better children's outcomes. Second, we will co-design a low-cost motivational intervention via SMS messages, and evaluate with a randomized controlled trial its impact on performance and children's outcomes. Our project has the potential to yield significant benefits for the development of children in Ecuador.

GCRF_NF178 Mobile Arts for Peace (MAP) at home: online psychosocial support through the arts in Rwanda
UK - Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS)
During COVID-19 lockdown the Rwandan government initiated strict measures to prevent movement outside the home. Restrictions due to the pandemic increased risks of gender-based violence, teenage pregnancy and school drop-out. Previous studies reported that 26.1% of the population were estimated to have symptoms related to posttraumatic stress disorder (Munyandamutsa et al. 2009); whereas recent studies have reported similar prevalence (RMHS, 2018) and genocide survivor organizations have reported an increase in mental distress during the lockdown. Deteriorating economic conditions pose a significant risk to young people's mental health, which could be further entrenched should further waves of the pandemic occur. Specifically, within Rwanda, there are no current initiatives to provide psychosocial support at home (including referral systems for those in need of more specialist intervention) or building two-way communication and synergies between formal and informal education structures (i.e. schools and community-based groups) to enable learning and social networking during social distancing. MAP at home examines the potential for providing mental health support and community engagement in Rwanda through interactive online platforms, participatory arts workshops, and communications between young people, educators, cultural artists and psychosocial workers across the five provinces of Rwanda: Rwamagana District (Eastern Province); Rubavu District (Western Province); Gicumbi District (Northern Province); Huye District (Southern Province); and Kicukiru District (Kigali Province). MAP at home will research the prevention of, response to and awareness of mental health and promotion of psychosocial well-being among youth, families, and community members through an innovative arts-based, culturally-informed approach, responsive to the needs of participants. MAP at home will generate knowledge on how to reach, engage and equip young people and caregivers with tools for psychosocial wellbeing through the development of a psychosocial module, online and participatory workshops (subject to COVID-19 guidance and social distancing measures), and integration of psychosocial workers. MAP will partner with community-based mental health provider Uyisenga Ni Imanzi, research organisation Institute of Research and Dialogue for Peace (IRDP), national cultural organisation Rwanda Arts Council, and government mental health providers Rwanda Biomedical Centre/Mental Health Division and National Rehabilitation Services to coproduce the design, implementation and dissemination of research from a local to national level. UNESCO serves as a project partner to align national to international policy implementation concerning youth policy and mental health. The project will respond to the following research questions in relation to COVID-19: *How can arts-based approaches be translated to online platforms to enhance psychosocial well-being? *What lessons can be learnt from the provision of online arts programmes for psychosocial well-being, especially regarding building resilience (individual and systemic) against future outbreaks or crises? *How might MAP at home advance digital innovation in the design and delivery of mental health provision and response services in Rwanda?

Strengthening Humanitarian Assistance to Vulnerable Migrants Repatriated to Haiti
International Organization for Migration (IOM)
As returns to Haiti continue, on-arrival protection and humanitarian assistance to migrants repatriated by sea or air to the country is urgently needed, including the improvement of reception facilities to welcome Haitian returnees at the two international airports of Port-au-Prince and Cap-Haitian. Additionally, protection and lifesaving need such as health, including mental health and psychosocial support, child protection, risk of human trafficking and smuggling have been identified among returnees. The intervention aims to support government efforts in providing humanitarian assistance to migrants repatriated from Turk and Caicos Islands upon arrival. Specifically, through project activities, IOM aims at strengthening the government and relevant stakeholders’ technical and operational capacities to assist vulnerable migrants, as well as improving coordination for the better management of irregular migration.

Tackling Modern Slavery from Viet Nam: Enhancing Behaviour Change Communication and Assistance Services
International Organization for Migration (IOM)
Building on the partnerships and results of the project “Tackling Modern Slavery in Viet Nam: An Interagency Project for Behaviour Change, Access to Justice and Reintegration Support” (TMSV) from 2018 to 2021, this project will continue developing and sustaining interventions to prevent and protect Vietnamese migrants and their communities from entering human trafficking and modern slavery situations. The project consists of two main outcomes that leverage existing partnerships across national and provincial Government partners, local authorities, community leaders and mass organizations. The impact of project results would cover whole country, but three central provinces with high prevalence of trafficking remain the key target locations: Nghe An, Ha Tinh and Quang Binh.
