We also share findings from qualitative research conducted to inform the design of a new community-based childcare pilot in Cameroon. This case study does not intend to prescribe best practices, but instead to provide examples of the key questions, challenges and solutions encountered by project teams.en-USCC BY-NC 3.0 IGOAFRICA GENDER POLICYGENDER INNOVATION LABWOMEN AND SOCIAL PROTECTIONWOMEN AND SOCIAL NORMSGENDER EQUALITYSDG 5BriefWorld Bank10.1596/40824
