The project aims to assist OVC by building technical and organisational capacity, strengthening essential components of the social service system, and improving linkages with health and other sectors. The project is implemented through a consortium led by Catholic Relief Services with partners IntraHealth International, Pact, Plan International, Maestral International and Westat.  \nThis publication is made possible by the generous support of the American people through the United States President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) under cooperative agreement AIDOAA-A-14-000-1 . The contents are the responsibility of the Coordinating Comprehensive Care for Children (4Children) project and do not necessarily reflect the views of USAID orthe United States Government.  \nAcknowledgements   \nThe development of the original Community Discussion Guide was made possible by the generous support of the American people through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Cooperative Agreement Number AID-663-A-11-00005 for Ethiopia’s Yekokeb Berhan Program for Highly Vulnerable Children (HVC) . USAID further supported the adaptation and expansion of this material for the Sustainable Outcomes for Children and Youth project in Uganda through their Cooperative Agreement AID-617-A-15-00005 . Staff affiliated with FHI 360 drafted the original version in conjunction with Pact, as part of Pact’s Yekokeb Berhan Programme for Highly Vulnerable Children (HVC) in Ethiopia. It was pioneered by parents, guardians, volunteers and staff of 39 implementing partners with 500,000 highly vulnerable children and their families. Lucy Y. Steinitz at Pact and Medhanit Wube at FHI 360 provided overall technical leadership together with illustrator Wobhset Sehalu and layout artist Worknesh Kerata. Later revisions were provided for abroader distribution through REPSSI, the Regional Psychosocial Support Initiative and for the Sustainable Outcomes for Children and Youth project in Uganda. These revisions were led by Lucy Y. Steinitz, with support from Jonathan Morgan at REPSSI, Francis Alumai and Rehema Kajungu of TPO Uganda and Mango Tree.  \nAdaptations for Nigeria (2016) were retitled Better Parenting Plus: Community Discussion Guide in order to reflect expanded contents and application. This current version was improved in 2018 in response to the need for supplemental Early Childhood Development (ECD), parenting adolescents and up-to-date HIV information.  \nRuth Haruna at 4Children Nigeria provided overall technical leadership for the adaptation of the Better Parenting Plus for Nigeria with support from 4Children senior technical advisors. The illustrations and design were done by Godwin Ondoma. The 2018 version is further informed by the CRS Compendium of Tools for Integrating Early Childhood Development into CRS Programs (2015), the WHO and UNICEF, Care for child development: Improving the care for young children and The Amazing Teen Brain: What Parents Need to Know by Chamberlain and Burgess.  \nPact Ethiopia/Yekokeb Berhan Programme for Highly Vulnerable Children  \nBole Kifle Ketema, Kebele 20 House No. 2129, P.O.
