African Society for Social and Behaviour Change
We are a community of social and behavior change professionals working to address health and development issues – positively transforming lives in Africa.
Our Story
Social behavioural change campaigns have the power to positively transform the lives of countless Africans. However, we noticed that most SBC interventions have a short lifespan, and it was important to create a skilled community, a reference point(knowledge hub) to support sustainability as well as the scalability of SBC innovations.
Origins
We decided to create AS-SBC – as a community for social and behaviour change professionals to learn, share and harness existing skills and knowledge; to establish a self-sustaining hub for social and behaviour change innovations beyond donor and/or project funding.
Our Objectives
- Fostering networking and collaboration among social and behaviour change (SBC) professionals.
- Sharing best practices, experiences and learnings among members.
- Promote standards of practice for: SBC design, implementation, as well as monitoring and evaluation.
- Mentoring and strengthening the capacity of young SBC professionals.
