The CHDC is part of a multi-country collaboration led by Oxford University, UK which has received funding from LEGO and OAK Foundations to implement a project titled, ‘Global Parenting Initiative (GPI)’. The five-year collaboration aims to provide access to free evidence-based, playful parenting support to every parent everywhere, so that they are equipped with the knowledge and tools to help their children realise their learning potential and to prevent child sexual abuse, exploitation and family violence.

Study fields include Statistics, Epidemiology, Public Health, Psychology, Social Sciences or any other relevant discipline.
