B”More for Healthy Babies – Billboards

B’more for Healthy Babies was launched in response to the high infant mortality rate (IMR) in Baltimore City – historically one of the worst in the nation. The initiative works through more than 100 partner agencies to implement a comprehensive program of improved policy, increased access to services and behavior change in communities and families.

Since this initiative was formally launched in 2010, the IMR has dropped consistently. In 2012, the rate reached a significant milestone – 9.7 deaths per 1,000 live births, a record low for Baltimore City. The disparity between the IMR for white and black infants has dropped by 40%. CCP has been instrumental in developing citywide campaigns on safe sleep practices for infants, smoke-free environments, and family planning. Highlights include the production of a powerful SLEEP SAFE video that is shown to all women delivering at a birthing hospital – a key decision making point for adopting safe sleep practices.

There were several health issues for which CCP worked with other partners to produce SBCC materials: safe sleeping, no-smoking near babies or pregnant women, and infant health.

Malawi – Moyo ndi Mpamba Campaign Billboards

To promote health behavior change across the six focal health areas of the Moyo ndi Mpamba campaign and increase brand recognition, SSDI-Communication produced these billboards, along with a series of posters, leaflets, and radio spots that it disseminated on a massive scale. Moyo ndi Mpamba billboards appeared in 11 locations throughout Malawi for three years. Messages on the billboards were consistent with the messages promoted through other SSDI-Communication platforms.

SSDI-Communication supported the Ministry of Health in realizing its ambitious health promotion agenda by developing and running a multimedia, multi-level Moyo ndi Mpamba, Usamalireni (“Life is precious, take care of it”) campaign, from 2011-2016. The ultimate goal of this campaign was to promote positive health behaviors and create demand for available services across six focus health areas – HIV & AIDS; family planning; nutrition; maternal, neonatal and child health; malaria; and water, sanitation and hygiene – and with audiences across the socio-ecological landscape and all targeted life stages.

Pata Tohara (“Get Circumcised”) Novelty Items, Billboard

In 2011, the Tanzania Communication and Capacity Project, TCCP), along with JHPIEGO, designed a campaign to increase the rate of voluntary male medical circumcision (VMMC).

The project aimed at sharing the following messages about VMMC:

  • Relative advantage – why it is better than not beingvcircumcised
  • Compatibility – how VMMC fits with the lifestyles of each target audience, and is appropriate for both younger and older men
  • Complexity – that VMMC is easy and safe

TCCP developed a new “age-aware” communication strategy that divided the primary target audience into two groups: one for boys and young men aged 10-19 years, and another for men age 20-34.

The chosen creative concept focused on a call to action – Pata Tohara (“Get Circumcised”), and highlighted the key benefits found to be most appealing to target audience members: circumcision provides protection and enhances

cleanliness.

The attached signs, billboard, logo, and sticker were produced as part of the campaign.
