Most caregiving interventions for young children are directed to female caregivers. Relatively few have included male caregivers as program participants especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The range of potential benefits that can be achieved through the engagement of fathers and male caregivers has not been adequately explored from a family systems perspective. We reviewed interventions that engaged male caregivers to support young children in LMICs and summarized impacts on maternal, paternal, couples, and child outcomes. We searched MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Global Health Library for quantitative evaluation studies of social and behavioral interventions that included fathers or other male caregivers to improve nurturing care for young children under 5 years of age in LMICs. Three authors independently extracted data using a structured form. Forty-four articles, representing 33 intervention evaluations, were included. The most common type of intervention targeted fathers along with their female partners and primarily to address child nutrition and health. Across interventions, maternal outcomes were the most evaluated outcomes (82%), followed by paternal (58%), couple's relationship (48%) and child-level outcomes (45%). Overall, father-inclusive interventions had positive impacts on maternal, paternal and couples' relationship outcomes. Although there was greater variation in the degree of supportive evidence for child outcomes compared to maternal, paternal, and couples outcomes, findings suggested mostly positive effects across all outcomes. Limitations included relatively weak study designs and heterogeneity across interventions, outcome types, and measurement tools. Interventions that include fathers and other male caregivers have potential to improve maternal and paternal caregiving, couple's relationships dynamics, and early child outcomes in LMICs. More evaluation studies, using rigorous methods and robust measurement frameworks, is needed to bolster this evidence-base about the effect of fathers' engagement for young children, caregivers, and families in LMICs.
