Before It was all negatIves

If I do that someone wIll

thInk thIs, whereas now Its

all posItIves. Ive Been to thehouse of commons, spoken to

all sorts of people. I would

never have done that If Ydtv

mYself up.

It has gIven the Young

fathers I have seen In mY cItY

more confIdence and BelIef,

self-worth and self-esteem,

whIch Is hugelY valuaBle.

A lot of my past was criminal my friends as soon

as I become a dad I had to get rid of them, stop

hanging around with them so that was part of the

isolation for me, I had no one to talk to but now I

This report explores the impact of

the Young Dads TV Project (YDTV)

interventions on the Young Dads (YDs)

who have engaged with it.

YDTV is a project initiated by Media for

Development to improve young fathers

visibility and recognition and help

address the complex web of challenges

and barriers which all too often result

in young fathers being distant gures in

their childrens lives.

The project was initiated in 2010 and

concludes in 2013. This evaluation was

carried out between September 2012

and May 2013.

In its original business case, Media for

Development claimed:

Without adequate support

and guidance from their

partner, their family andgovernment services, these

vulnerable young fathers

are likely to fnd themselves

side-lined in the lives of

their children. In turn, this

feeds the myth that young

fathers are feckless andirresponsible, helping to

create a vicious circle in

which young fathers are

often marginalised due to

a negative stereotype, the

consequences of which serve

to feed this stereotype.

ydTV ws st t s t m t

fts ss ts sss:

Using digital media (short

flms and video games)

social media (online

blogs, Twitter) and mobiletechnology (mobile phones),

MFD will work primarily with

fathers below the age of 25

to create a lively, practical,

online magazine style hub

of positive, relevant andhumorous activities that

support and champion

young dads in their roles as

fathers.
