  11. Key Lessons • Strong advocacy led by the CUBS team was fruitful and brought together all relevant stakeholders. • The beneficiaries were very excited about CUBS and are ready to continue on their own when CUBS expires. • HES was an excellent approach as it promoted community ownership of the project. • Male caregivers were also involved and are excited about the project. More of them should be encouraged to join the groups. • Savings group formation should be further explored as this will sustain the groups and the project. • Coaching and mentoring approaches motivated the caregivers to do even better.
