    A mixed methods evaluation of the largescale implementation of a school- and community-based parenting program to reduce violence against children in Tanzania: a study protocol
    (Springer Nature, 2021) Mackenzie, Martin; Lachman, Jamie; Manjengenja, Nyasha
    Despite the rapid dissemination of parenting programs aiming to reduce and prevent violence against children (VAC) worldwide, there is limited knowledge about and evidence of the implementation of these programs at scale. This study addresses this gap by assessing the quality of delivery and impact of an evidencebased parenting program for parents/caregivers and their adolescent girls aged 9 to 14—Parenting for Lifelong Health Teens (PLH-Teens), known locally as Furaha Teens—on reducing VAC at scale in Tanzania. The study will explore participating family and staff perspectives on program implementation and examine factors associated with implementation and how implementation quality is associated with intervention outcomes when the program is delivered to approximately 50,000 parent-child dyads (N = 100,000) in schools and community centers across eight districts of Tanzania.

    The role of social workers in response to genocides and massacres: The case of Gukurahundi
    (University of the Western Cape, 2022) Manjengenja, Nyasha; Schenck, Catherina
    The term ‘Gukurahundi’ is a direct translation of a Zimbabwean Shona term that refers to “the first rain that washes away chaff before spring” (Eppel, 2008:1). In Zimbabwe, this term is specifically used in reference to the massacres of over 20 000 people in the Matabeleland and Midlands provinces, as well as displacement and torture of innumerable others by the Mugabeled regime in the 1980’s (Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace in Zimbabwe, 1997). This violence was never acknowledged nor comprehensively addressed at national level.
