Community engagement is key to building strategic partnerships with stakeholders. As part of raising community awareness and strengthening referral pathways for children with neurodevelopmental disabilities, the project has an active capacity strengthening program which involves training community health volunteers (CHVs) to identify neurodevelopmental disabilities at the community level.

The NeuroDev project team resumed school engagements in June 2022 following the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions. Special schools and units in mainstream primary schools are key recruitment sites for the study. The field recruitment team led by Javan Nyale organize and carry out presentations about the study during Parent- Teacher meetings in schools.
