Georgia Office of Child Support Enforcement and the National
Practitioners Network for Fathers and Families (NPNFF) created
this up-to-date summary of state government involvement in and
support for the development of responsible fatherhood services.
NPNFF conducted a state-by-state survey through the use of a
standardized survey form, follow-up telephone interviews and
reminders, and e-mail contacts and follow-ups to develop A
Comparative Review of State Commissions, Initiatives, and Programs
Addressing Fatherhood Issues.

especially among low-income, unwed men. The guide will be most useful
for state legislators, governors, and agency officials looking for
better ways to serve fathers. But local government officials, businesses,

ideas they can use as well
