The Insights 101 Playbook: A Dynamic Learning Starter Kit

The Insights 101 Playbook is an introductory guide to one of the key building blocks of dynamic social and behavior change (SBC) project design: insights. It has been designed to offer concise and practical guidelines with examples—from identifying insights to applying and sharing them across project partners. Consider insights as the distillation of formative research that allows you to include the research findings in the design.

What’s inside?
The Playbook includes three chapters that use a case example to walk through the different insight phases:

  1. Identify and articulate insights
  2. Convert an insight into an opportunity
  3. Share and apply insights

The chapters provide an overview with clear guidance, a case study, and a capacity-strengthening component. There are insights about teams, approaches, processes, and more.

Smart Jeewan Campaign

These materials are part of a family planning campaign – Parivar Niyojan Smart Banchha Jeewan (Family Planning makes a smart life), launched in Nepal on 21st August 2015 in an effort to reposition family planning for the young married couples (aged 15-29).

There are four television commercials in Wave-I showing the life stages of a couple where planning for family is needed. There are five television commercials in the Wave-II. One is intended to educate the viewers that there are family planning methods available and safe to use by post-partum mothers during breastfeeding. Second, about use of IUCD for spacing. Third about using IUCD. Fourth about the safety of using family planning methods like pills to delay first pregnancy. Fifth about the appropriate use of Emergency contraceptive pills.

There are five posters designed during Wave-1 to complement the four TVCs, one comprehensive poster with all life stages for family planning, and one to depict the uniting message of youths taking the ownership of family planning to be Smart Couples.

A “Badhai” or congratulations booklet was also developed in the Wave-II to be used by community health workers and health worker when doing interpersonal communication/interactions with newly married couples and 1000- day couples (pregnancy 9 months and baby 2 years roughly equals to 1000 days). This booklet has important information useful for couples at the various stages of married and family life.

There are seven leaflets developed to use as job aid by community health workers and information material to take home by the newly-wed couples and 1000-days couples regarding the five temporary family planning methods (IUCD, Implant, 3-month injectable, combined oral contraceptive pills, condoms), emergency contracentive pills, two permanent family planning methods (vasectomy, minilap), and one leaflet with information on all these methods.

Booklet of Key Essential Nutrition Actions Messages

The Essential Nutrition Actions (ENA) framework is an operational framework for managing the advocacy, planning and delivery of an integrated package of preventive nutrition actions encompassing infant and young child feeding (IYCF), micronutrients and women’s nutrition. Using multiple contact points, it targets health services and behavior change communication support to women and young children during the first 1,000 days of life – from conception through the first two years of life.

The Booklet of Key ENA Messages illustrates the key ENA messages and can be used by those implementing and supporting health, nutrition, and food security programs for improving nutrition practices among pregnant and lactating mothers and children under two. It can be a resource for training community or facility-based workers or for promoting behavior change at the household level. The goal of this booklet is to make available a harmonized set of messages across all implementing partners working across various programs and regions in a targeted country.
