Definition

Definition

This indicator measures the percentage of male and female caregivers who report positive caregiver-child relationships.

Positive caregiver-child relationships involve quality one on one time with the child, positive reinforcement and encouragement, appreciation for the child's contributions/help and maintaining calm and respectful communication with the child when conflicts arise (based on the 4 questions on non-violent methods in Safe Families Survey).

Numerator

Number of male and female caregivers who report positive caregiver-child relationships

Denominator

Total number of surveyed male and female caregivers who were asked about positive caregiver-child relationships

Recommended Means of Verification

Measuring this indicator requires using the Safe Families Caregiver Questionnaire at the project level which targets parents/caregivers participating in the Safe Families intervention, asking about positive caregiver-child relationships.

If the caregiver responds “most of the time” or “all or almost all the time” to Q.28 AND Q.29 AND Q.30 AND Q.31, then they can be counted towards this indicator.

To calculate the indicator's value, divide the number male and female caregivers who report positive caregiver-child relationships in the past month by the total number of surveyed male and female caregivers who were asked about positive caregiver-child relationships. Multiply the result by 100 to convert it to a percentage.
