Since the start of the national scale up in 2022, the certified ICDP facilitators have been creating the multiplier effect on ICDP, which is now called MaPangBata, targetting families involved in the 4Ps government project.
To date there are 6070 facilitators who implemented the ICDP programme with 46 327 parents.
As a way to provide for sustainability and continuity of the ICDP/MaPangBata implementation it was agreed to establish an “in house” of ICDP trainers.
With this aim in mind, 36 staff members of 4Ps (F-28; M-8) were trained as ICDP trainers starting with a workshop in February 17-21, 2025. As part of their practice and in compliance to the ICDP certification process and requirements, they have started the MaPangBata multiplier effect through their “on the job training” activity.
The 36 candidate ICDP trainers have been training social case managers and other staff on MaPangBata in their respective regions. This approach will continue until all 4Ps staff are trained as facilitators. In effect, they will create layers of multiplier effect until all the three million 4Ps families are reached.
