More Bilharzia Uganda Spotlight Resources

Bilharzia Campaign Radio Show Guide

This document outlines and provides guidelines for a central element of the Bilharzia Media Campaign in Uganda, 2016-2017 – a series of radio call-in talk shows featuring Bilharzia experts. The talk shows were reinforced with DJ mentions, radio spots, a jingle, and a series of short radio skits in 9 languages. The broadcast stations of broadcast were carefully selected to reach 47 districts where Bilharzia was most prevalent plus Kampala, where Bilharzia is less common but still an issue, particularly among communities on the lake.

Primary audiences were men and women between 20 and 45 years of age and their school age children living in areas where Bilharzia is particularly prevalent, as well as health workers, teachers and leaders in areas where Bilharzia is particularly prevalent.

The objectives of the programs were to:

  • To increase awareness about Bilharzia and how to prevent it.
  • To increase the audience’s perceptions of risk for Bilharzia.
  • To encourage listeners to adopt practices that reduce their risk of Bilharzia and it’s consequences.

The programs achieved the following goals:

  1. Provided information to listeners about Bilharzia—what it is, it’s consequences, and how to prevent it.
  2. Provided information to listeners about realistic, practical actions they can take to prevent Bilharzia and minimize its consequences.
  3. Promoted use of latrines or toilets and never defecating or urinating near or in a body of water.
  4. Encouraged listeners to take advantage of the MOH’s free distribution of Bilharzia medicine every year to prevent serious consequences of Bilharzia.

Bamboo Shoots. A Training Manual on Child-Centred Community Development /Child-led Community Actions for Facilitators Working with Children and Youth Groups

This manual is intended to open opportunities for children to learn about their own rights and discover their potential. It is expected that once the children acquire this knowledge, it will help them gain dignity. The manual contains a body of knowledge on rights-based programming and tools and techniques that are deeply rooted in international human rights and child rights principles.

The emphasis of the training is on practical actions that children will come up with following identification of the child rights violations – it therefore creates a platform for them to recognize and address issues affecting them directly. Children are the main actors in their own development, not just on the receiving end of development. Children can critically analyze their situation, including the factors that facilitate or hinder their development. Child-led actions can stimulate duty bearers in their responsibility to protect, fulfill and respect the rights of children.

More GREAT Spotlight Resources

GREAT Project How-to-Guide

The Gender Roles, Equality, and Transformations (GREAT) project (covered in a Health COMpass Spotlight) is an evidence-based international development intervention that succeeded in improving gender norms related to
sexual and reproductive health and gender-based violence in Northern Uganda. The GREAT model encompasses several components and places collaboration with local partners and the community at the center of the intervention. GREAT’s elements are tested, evidence-based, and scalable; its interventions are tailored to life stages within the broad category of ‘young people.’ GREAT is simple and low-cost, and is designed to respect positive norms and values even as it asks communities to examine and challenge those norms and values that are negative. GREAT includes: 1) simple steps to bring communities together to take action to improve adolescent well-being; 2) a serial radio drama with stories and songs about young people and their families living in Northern Uganda; 3) orientation to help Village Health Teams (VHTs) offer youth-friendly services; and 4) a toolkit with lively stories and games. Each of the components encompasses specific methods and tools.

This How-to-Guide provides the tools and instructions needed to implement the GREAT project in a community. It is broken down into sections for each GREAT project component; within each component chapter, one will find an overview of the component, suggested activity sessions, and tracking forms for tracking implementation progress. Activity sessions may be repeated in multiple chapters of the guide for ease of use. This guide also includes the handouts referenced throughout the guide. Some of the materials in the are sourced from other projects that were studied while conceptualizing GREAT.
