Parenting of teenagers in Sub Saharan Africa, how it is understood and practiced - Learning from an extensive literature review and empirical study in South Africa
This seminar will present the aims, methods and headline findings of a collaborative project to explore the contexts in which teenagers are raised in southern and East Africa and the implications of delivering and upscaling a programme of support within a policy framework.
We focus primarily on a literature review of structural factors affecting the possibilities for parents and adolescents to meet their ideals within everyday practice, and on a process evaluation of a parenting intervention currently being trialled in rural South Africa.
