More TCCP - School Net Program (Tanzania) Resources

School Net Program – Cue cards

The Tanzania School Net Program involved distribution of treated nets to both children ages 6-14 years and heads of household as primary audiences, empowering these audiences to take action while clearly conveying the benefits of getting everyone covered – including neighbors – by drawing on popular “sharing” beliefs that exist in Tanzania. The school net program (SNP) also targeted primary school teachers, TCCP Community Change Agents, Ward Educational Coordinators, and other stakeholders, including local government authority (LGA) officials, heads of schools, ward and village officials.

The effort included community outreach, radio spots, district-wide events, and school activities.

Through the Patapata radio program, children were inspired to talk to their parents, friends, and communities about malaria prevention behaviors such as sleeping under a net every night, proper net use, net care and repair, and net sharing. Anecdotal feedback from Community Change Agents indicated that children enjoyed the program, and that parents reported increased interpersonal communication with their children about the importance of sleeping under the nets they were given at school.

The attached file includes a mathematics table backed by a card reminding the student about the nets, as well as a cue card informing the family about the use of bednets.

Suaahara 1000 days Brochure

Suaahara was a five year (2011-2016) project funded by USAID aimed to improve the nutritional status of women and children in 41 districts of Nepal. The project focused on improving health and nutrition behaviors at the household level through promotion of Essential Nutrition and Hygiene Actions (EN/HA), particularly Maternal, Infant and Young Child Nutrition (MIYCN), and addressing other determinants of under-nutrition, such as availability of and access to food, hygiene, quality of health care, child spacing and socio-cultural factors including gender and marginalization.

Suaahara was implemented by a consortium of partner organizations led by Save the Children.

The SBCC strategy established an internal quality materials review and production system to ensure that all partners in the consortium had mutually reinforcing, quality materials developed, pretested, produced and disseminated to the end user. The campaign coined a phrase for newly married couples within the first thousand days of their marriage – “1000 day couples”.

Suaahara developed this 1000 days brochure targeting 1000 days mothers and their families and give them information about how to take care of child and mother during 1000 days period. If families needed more service or counseling on the 1000 days they can go to Female Community Health Volunteers or nearby health institutions.

The brochures were developed for two region hill and terai and massively distributed in the Suaahara implemented hill and terai districts through NGO partners.

Tabletas de Hierro [Iron Pills] Reminder Cards for Pregnant Women

In the mid 1990s, a project under the USAID-funded, JSI-led OMNI Project produced a number of materials for community promoters (brigadistas) and facility staff, as well as for pregnant women promoting the use of iron sulfate tablets as part of prenatal care.

These two materials were designed to motivate and facilitate pregnant women taking their iron sulfate tablets:

  1. A “contract” (or commitment to try to take the tablets daily and do other, related practices
  2. An accompanying reminder card that women brought home from the facility with their month’s supply of tablets

Once they had taken their daily tablet, women were encouraged to draw a smile to complete the day’s face.
