RCCE Guide for Community Health Workers, Volunteers, and Social Mobilizers

This Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) Guide serves as a guide for community health workers (CHWs), volunteers, and social mobilizers in communicating with people on COVID-19 and helping them protect themselves and others from the virus. This guide contains importance of community engagement during health crisis, how to talk to people in the community, how to protect yourself and others while on duty, and key messages that need to be conveyed to the community and to specific audience groups.

Using the guide, Department of Health, in partnership with USAID Breakthrough ACTION, UNICEF, and WHO conducted RCCE online trainings via Zoom to CHWs, volunteers, and social mobilizers.

Real-Time Monitoring of Rural Sanitation at Scale in Zambia Using Mobile-to-Web Technologies

This brief describes an innovative Mobile-to-Web (M2W) real-time monitoring system used in Zambia in 2013-2014.

The effective rollout of M2W in rural Zambia has demonstrated how a mobile system combined with simple protocols for reporting and analysis has the potential for nation-wide monitoring of open, defecation-free (ODF) water supplies. The M2W system was developed in 2013 for monitoring rural sanitation and hygiene by UNICEF and its technical partner Akros, under the lead of the Ministry of Local Government and Housing of Zambia. The system utilizes the Short Message Service (SMS) text delivery system found on most basic mobile phones and is coded using the open source District Health Information Software 2 (DHIS 2). This is a free, open-source software originally designed for health applications, but is currently being used in 40 countries under various sectors, from water management to agriculture and forestry.

The M2W system demonstrated how a mobile system combined with simple protocols for reporting and analysis has the potential for nationwide monitoring of ODF.

Understanding Individual and Social Risk Factors Related to Priority Zoonotic Diseases in the Democratic Republic of the Congo: A Review of the Literature

This literature review summarizes the available published literature on behavioral determinants and sociocultural systems and norms that influence specific priority zoonotic diseases in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

It provides a starting point for further qualitative and quantitative investigation to inform the development of social and behavior change (SBC) resources and tools that may contribute to the development and maintenance of effective risk communication systems.

Health and Ideations of Married Female Adolescents

This brief provides rigorous evidence-based insights to social and behavior change (SBC) program implementers and researchers seeking to improve health-related knowledge, attitudes, norms, and behaviors of married female adolescents.

The brief focuses on married adolescents’ uptake of services and health knowledge in Kebbi, Sokoto, and Zamfara states in northwestern Nigeria. Findings show that married female adolescents ages 15–19 differ from their older counterparts in nearly all health behaviors. Ideational factors—particularly knowledge of the benefits of health services and self-efficacy to act—appear to explain much of these differences.

This is one of a series of briefs that present findings from a Breakthrough RESEARCH study in Nigeria that uniquely captures data on a wide range of psychosocial drivers of behavioral outcomes in the areas of family planning, malaria, and maternal, newborn, and child health, and nutrition.
