Adaptations

The revised and updated Stepping Stones & Stepping Stones Plus and our new programme, Stepping Stones with Children are both now published by Practical Action Publishing. Adaptation of the programmes is welcomed. However, as with any such programme, to make the adaptation effective in your context, this can require considerable investment of time and effort. Please contact us for information and permissions if you want to adapt either of these programmes for your own context.

Please also view the scaling up and sustainability page here.

We also strongly recommend you read our CUSP article, blogs and reports here.

There are also many adaptations and translations of the original Stepping Stones manual. Contact us for information about them, since these may be of use to you also.

The documents above are key reading for anyone wanting to adapt our materials. They are especially important for those who wish to adapt Stepping Stones materials for use with grants from the Global Fund and from PEPFAR DREAMS and/or OVC (orphans and vulnerable children) programmes.
