OUR STORY
Why we do, what we do
Social behavioral 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.
We decided to create AS-SBC – as a community for social and behavior change professionals to learn, share and harness existing skills and knowledge; to establish a self-sustaining hub for social and behavior change innovations beyond donor and/or project funding.
OUR OBJECTIVES
Looking to inspire positive change
Fostering networking and collaboration among social and behavior 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.
