Confiance Totale Family Planning Demand Generation Campaign

In 2020, Breakthrough ACTION created the Confiance Totale (Total Confidence) brand and logo to generate trust in and demand for family planning (FP) methods and services among women of reproductive age in Integrated Learning Network catchment areas. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, West Africa Breakthrough ACTION (WABA) developed several Confiance Totale materials in collaboration with service delivery partner AmplifyPF and Ministries of Health. The campaign materials include intrauterine device, injectable, oral contraceptive pill, implant, Standard Days Method, emergency contraception, and all methods leaflets and radio public service announcements in French and local languages that promote having confidence in the safety and efficacy of family planning, health centers, and health care providers.

In 2023, WABA adapted the Confiance Totale materials for a nationwide Gratuité Totale (Totally Free) family planning services campaign in Côte d’Ivoire.

Mainstreaming Gender and Youth in Malaria Programming in Uganda

According to the World Health Organization, gender norms, roles and behaviors significantly influence how women, men, and young people react to health challenges, access health services, and how health systems respond to their needs. A thorough understanding of youth- and gender-related dynamics of health seeking, decision-making, and resource allocation — and their integration into programming — is critical for effective malaria control and prevention. This learning brief offers guidance and shares learning with malaria programs in Uganda and sub-Saharan Africa on integrating measures that address gender- and youth-related barriers.

Edutainment as a vehicle for malaria-related behavior change: Lessons learnt from Uganda

Many malaria awareness interventions in Uganda are designed to target women and children under five, often overlooking men and male youth. With men typically controlling their household’s financial resources and making decisions about expenditures, including on health, successfully reaching and engaging men with health campaigns is extremely important. The USAID Malaria Action Program for Districts identified large-scale football events of the 2018 FIFA World Cup to successfully engage men with edutainment activities aimed at improving their knowledge of malaria prevention, treatment and behavior change within households.

Shifting Climate Culture Now

Over 70% of Americans see climate change occurring, and two-thirds feel the need to take personal action about it. However, many Americans are not sure of the behavioral shifts they can adopt to address climate change. Rare’s Shift Climate Culture program focuses on promoting the adoption of identified highest impact behaviors which can reduce green gas emissions significantly. Rare uses four strategic channels to drive this program: Climate Culture Hometown; Green Benefits; Climate Culture Entertainment Laboratory and Digital Campaigns.

Modern Kitchen Campaign, Bangladesh

The Clean Cooking Alliance (Alliance), government agency SREDA, Social Marketing Company and Purplewood implemented a campaign, between 2016 to 2019, for promoting clean cooking products in Bangladesh. The campaign aimed at increasing awareness and adoption of clean (energy-efficient and low emission) cookstoves and clean fuels like LP gas, wood pellets. The campaign also promoted a retained heat cooker, piloted by GIZ Bangladesh.

The campaign aimed to expand the stove-continuum to accommodate improved cookstoves and efficient fuels e.g. LPG, wood pellets. All thirteen products were brought under a category-brand, styled ‘Modern Kitchen’. The big idea was, “Times have changed, change your kitchen.” A social norming approach was also adopted, showing that forward thinking households were upgrading their kitchens, and minding the health of the cook (usually the female household head).

The campaign used radio, print, billboards, rickshaw branding, interpersonal communications (IPC), community-theater, movie-screenings, and fairs. Also used were bulk SMS, helpline and geo-targeted Facebook marketing. All materials were pre-tested in the field and fine-tuned before deployment. In each case, usage situations of clean cooking products were highlighted.

The key pitch was a soap-opera style, over-the-top family drama, screened outdoors. In the story, a flamboyant man realizes that – despite his clothes and gadgets – his meek older brother is more modern; because a truly modern man protects his home and family. Multiple product usage and maintenance videos were produced. To create hype, ‘kitchen makeover’ activities were carried out in 16 locations.

For women, the campaign went into playgrounds and yards. In the street theater performance, the heroine was a young ‘Modern’ new-bride who tries to clean up her in-laws’ kitchen. A TV celebrity endorsed HAP messaging, and starred in a mock Teleshopping Program about stoves. Outreach workers carried videos and materials to households and conducted IPC sessions.

Over 300 days of SBCC activities reached an estimated 1.6 million unique individuals. Online video views totalled 550,000. Final evaluation, carried out by Berkeley Air Monitoring Group, showed a ~40% increase in brand awareness. Nearly 15000 units of clean stoves and fuels were sold during the campaign period.
