ABSTRACT
The overall objective of implementing the MISC in Ethiopia was to explore the possibility of enhancing the quality of mediation in early mother–child interactions and consequently to improve the cognitive and emotional development of Ethiopian children. The Intervention program was based on the MISC program. It is tailored toward promoting the quantity and quality of infant–caregiver interactions, both in home- and institution-based settings. A special attempt was made to integrate the psychosocial intervention within the existing primary health-care services in the local community.
