Strategic framework for collaboration on antimicrobial resistance

Building on the momentum of increased collaboration, the WHO, FAO, WOAH, and UNEP have developed a Strategic Framework for collaboration on antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This Framework reflects the joint work of the four organizations to advance a One Health response to AMR at the global, regional, and country levels. It broadly supports the implementation of the five pillars of the Global Action Plan on AMR, as well as strengthening global AMR governance.

SBC Best Practices: Key Learnings from the Multisectoral Social and Behaviour Change (SBC) Programming of ADRA Yemen

This report was prepared as part of the Yemen Emergency Multisectoral and Lifesaving Interventions (YEMLI) project that is implemented by ADRA Yemen, funded by the USAID Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA), and technically supported by ADRA International. The report aims to share the key best practices and lessons learned from ADRA’s three years of implementing a multisectoral SBC approach to protecting people’s health and nutritional status with aid agencies and donors. In doing so, it hopes to enable other agencies to replicate some of the presented best practices, helping them to further increase the impact of their life-saving work.

Global Malnutrition Prevention and Treatment Act of 2021 Implementation Plan

The GMPTA Implementation Plan serves as a roadmap for USAID’s investments in the prevention and treatment of malnutrition for the period from October 2022 to October 2029. As part of developing this plan, USAID, led by the Agency’s Nutrition Leadership Council, leveraged a consultative process with external and interagency stakeholders. USAID staff briefed other U.S. Government agencies on the GMPTA, its components, and the Plan development process through the U.S. Government Global Nutrition Coordination Plan platform. External consultations were held with civil society and other nutrition stakeholders. USAID received written and oral feedback from external stakeholders, which were incorporated in the Plan’s development. 

The Plan presents USAID’s priority technical areas in nutrition, the approach USAID will take to coordinate and collaborate internally and with priority countries, other federal agencies, and partners to achieve nutrition goals, and the mechanisms by which USAID will hold itself accountable to achievement of goals by tracking progress against targets through annual reporting. It also provides a shared basis for continued, technically sound, collaborative action.

Tools for High-Quality Nutrition Social and Behavior Change Programming

Quality social and behavior change (SBC) is the thread that ties nutrition sectors and strategies together for improved nutrition. Whether an activity aims to improve the nutritional status of women and children, foster more resilient communities, or increase the availability of safe, affordable, and nutritious foods, individual behaviors are at the heart of the solution.

Most nutrition programs intend to use quality SBC approaches, but key steps are often missed. Nutrition SBC is particularly challenging due to the nature of the behaviors—small, frequent, and additive.

This resource takes you through six steps in high-quality SBC programming and provides practical tools for each step.

The Malawi National Malaria Communication Strategy 2022-2030

This National Malaria Communication Strategy (NMCS) articulates the role SBC will play in the implementation of Malawi’s National Malaria Strategic Plan.

In the years since the 2017-2022 National Malaria Strategic Plan, Malawi has developed a broader set of National Health Communication guidelines, which are outlined in the HSSP III. As this overall strategy outlines how all partners are to integrate their activities and implement under the same set priorities, the new National Malaria Strategic Plan and this accompanying National Malaria Communication Strategy achieve the same goals: the facilitation of behavior change among individuals, households, and communities towards the adoption of positive health behaviors through effective communication, health promotion, interpreted health services, collaboration, evidence-based interventions, equity, social inclusion, and community empowerment and participation.
