Collective Communication and Community Engagement in humanitarian action: How to guide for leaders and responders (CDAC Network, 2019)

February 11, 2019

This guide describes the framework, minimum actions and services for communication and community engagement, and the vision for a collective approach. It provides practical guidance on implementing the minimum actions and services, setting up national, multi-stakeholder platforms and providing leadership, championing and advocacy for change in this area.

The guide is intended primarily for practitioners and leaders working in national and international humanitarian and media development organisations as well as other entities involved in preparedness, response and recovery. Experience in the humanitarian sector and prior knowledge of relevant policies, plans and processes is assumed, as is familiarity with the humanitarian architecture, the humanitarian programme cycle and accountability to affected populations. The content is illustrated by numerous case studies, in order to contextualise some of the practices outlined.

The Strategic Framework for Malaria Social and Behaviour Change Communication 2018-2030 (RBM Partnership to End Malaria, 2018)

March 18, 2018

The integration of high quality social and behaviour change communication (SBCC) into malaria strategic plans is essential in order to reach targets to prevent, treat, control, and eventually eliminate the disease. In 2012, the Strategic Framework for Malaria SBCC: 2012-2017 set forth an agenda to advocate for and strengthen technical capacity for SBCC; a number of developments have occurred since its publication to warrant an update and
extension of the original framework.

Many people in malaria-prone areas now have access to insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) and to effective antimalarial drug treatment. Although the number of countries with areas of low transmission has grown, the number of new pharmacological, epidemiological and vector challenges has also increased. Recent global strategy documents, such as the RBM Partnership’s Action and Investment to Defeat Malaria and WHO’s Global Technical
Strategy for Malaria, call for new approaches and interventions as countries scale up and the dynamics of malaria transmission change.

The intended audiences for the Strategic Framework are:

• Technical staff at the global, national, and local levels who are
responsible for designing, implementing, monitoring, evaluating,
and coordinating malaria control and elimination policies,
strategies, and interventions.

• RBM SBCC-oriented partners who are engaged in developing,
implementing, and evaluating SBCC programmes/projects and
who contribute to the global discourse on effective approaches
to SBCC.

SBCC Pathways for Improved Maternal, Infant, and Young Child Nutrition Practices (SPRING 2014)

September 9, 2016

Social and behavior change communication (SBCC) is a behavior-centered approach to facilitating individuals, households, groups, and communities in adopting and sustaining improved health and nutrition related practices. The approach draws upon social science and behavior change theories to address behavior and the environment within which behavior change occurs. SBCC activities can be classified into three basic categories: behavior change communication (BCC), social and community mobilization, and advocacy.

In this paper, SPRING presents pathways between SBCC delivery strategies and improved maternal infant and young child nutrition (MIYCN) practices. These pathways are based on a review of SBCC strategies and theories as well as a systematic literature review exploring the effectiveness of SBCC approaches in changing priority MIYCN practices.

This document is part of an occasional series produced by SPRING staff and consultants on topics of relevance to practitioners in global nutrition.
