C-Modules: A Learning Package for Social and Behavior Change Communication - Field Test Version

Communication for Change (C-Change) has created this learning package for facilitated, face-to-face workshops on social and behaviour change communication (SBCC). It is designed for staff of health programmes in small- and medium-sized organisations with varying degrees of experience in planning or implementing SBCC programmes.

The package, which includes a series of 6 modules for program staff, is (as of January 2010) being field-tested in Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa. The Introductory Module outlines the overall SBCC framework. Each of the next 5 modules focuses on one distinct step of the SBCC planning process:

1. Understanding the Situation
2. Focusing and Designing
3. Creating
4. Implementing and Monitoring
5. Evaluating and Replanning

The modules rely on and feature a number of practical SBCC tools, using actual field examples for teaching. Facilitators may tailor each module to the profile of learners as well as to the time available. The format is designed to make it easy for facilitators to substitute examples from their own professional experience to help make the curriculum relevant for all participants. The goal is to create opportunities for participants to apply what they learn to their own SBCC programmes.
