Sawa Le Baad – Together forEach OtherAn Integrated Social and Behavior ChangeStrategy for Family Planning and Maternal,Newborn and Child Health

Developed by Breakthrough ACTION South Sudan, the Sawa Le Baad (Together for Each Other) strategy provides a comprehensive blueprint for integrated social and behavior change (SBC) interventions. The strategy aims to significantly reduce maternal, newborn, and child mortality by increasing demand for family planning, boosting timely health-seeking behaviors, and addressing provider bias. Grounded in evidence, it utilizes an adapted version of the Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs’ Pathways™ model to build a more supportive community environment. This framework guides practitioners in promoting equitable gender norms, community dialogue, and improved experiences at health facilities.
