School Net Program Poster

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. This poster advertises the radio program.

Scrutinize: An Undercover Lover Brings You HIV from Another

This poster is part of the Scrutinize campaign, which asks the public to “scrutinize” or think about what they are doing in order to avoid HIV. The message is part of an education campaign that teaches that a person may only have two or three partners, but if those people have two or three partners and they have two or three partners, this creates a network. If just one contracts HIV 169 others may contract it as well.

The South Africa National Communication Survey 2012 Preliminary Results revealed that Scrutinize reached about 70% of the intended population, promoted self-efficacy and positive attitudes toward condom use. Regarding HIV, the survey also revealed that self-efficacy to request partner testing and discussion with sex partners about getting tested together has a positive net effect.

Strategic Purchasing of Family Planning Services from Private Sector Providers by the Government of India: A Model of Accelerating Universal Health Coverage

This poster focuses on increasing access to quality family planning services to urban poor through the strategic purchase of FP services through private providers.

The overall approach was to enable the public system to own, manage, monitor and finance the accredited private providers to deliver equitable access to family planning services. Population Services International (PSI) developed a single window, web-based interface to facilitate private provider accreditation, empanelment, and reimbursement by the government to the individual private provider in the network.

Overall, it resulted in policy shifts – the first time introduction of life time empanelment of private providers by the government, increased accreditation validity from 1 to 5 years for private clinics, and established a centralized payment disbursement mechanism from the earlier system of district level payments. It improved efficiencies of the management of the public private partnerships scheme and achieved scale, coverage and impact.
