In here linked is the research content related to the CAAFAG Parenting Intervention. We conducted a desk review of existing Family Strengthening or Parenting interventions for CAAFAG or armed conflict contexts which informed the intervention together with the formative research findings. The Case Study gives a summary of the Parenting Intervention Program. To better understand why children and adolescents are joining armed groups, the IRC conducted formative qualitative research in Ouham-Pendé, CAR and North Kivu, DRC.
