Costs and Budget Impact of Scaling‐Up Parenting for Lifelong Health for Young Children Program in Thailand
Scaling-up PLH-YC incurs different unit costs per caregiver depending on the levels of programme delivery. However, budget requirements for all scenarios can be prohibitively high. To increase financial feasibility, programme modifications while maintaining quality, such as fewer parenting sessions or hybrid implementation, should be explored. Strong political commitment and financial support by key stakeholders are necessary for programme adoption and scaling up.
