Malawi – Moyo ndi Mpamba Campaign Marriage Counseling for Newlyweds Training Manual

The Moyo ndi Mpamba, Usamalireni (“Life is precious, take care of it”) campaign produced these materials for newlyweds. SSDI-Communication worked with the Ministry of Health and faith leaders to develop a booklet for young married couples (the Takunyadirani [“We Celebrate You”] booklet) containing messages on priority health topics especially relevant to couples who are about to be married or who are newly married: maternal and child health, nutrition, family planning, malaria in pregnancy, and HIV & AIDS. The project also developed a training for religious marriage counselors, and conducted trainings in six districts.

Trained counselors reached out to young married couples through counseling sessions, small-group church meetings, door-to-door visits, marriage outreach sessions, mock weddings, and sermons. The Takunyadirani booklet served as a guide for counseling sessions. SSDI-Communication trained over 1,450 marriage counselors in six districts, and distributed 14,000 Takunyadirani booklets to as many newlywed couples, representing over 90% coverage of all marriages that occurred in the catchment areas of trained counselors; these couples also benefitted from counseling sessions.

Learn here about the newlywed booklet.

In the Moyo ndi Mpamba, Usamalireni campaign, the SSDI-Communication supported the Ministry of Health in realizing its ambitious health promotion agenda by developing and running a multimedia, multi-level Moyo ndi Mpamba, Usamalireni (“Life is precious, take care of it”) campaign, from 2011-2016. The ultimate goal of this campaign was to promote positive health behaviors and create demand for available services across six focus health areas – HIV & AIDS; family planning; nutrition; maternal, neonatal and child health; malaria; and water, sanitation and hygiene – and with audiences across the socio-ecological landscape and all targeted life stages.

Manuel de Reference pour la Formation en Supervision [Reference Manual for Supervision Training]

This is a training manual in which supervisors can master knowledge, attitudes or skills by employing the following methods:

  • Active participation of the learner. This approach to training allows the participant to have a learning experience that he or she leads. This is accomplished with the help of a trainer who acts as a facilitator and a modification of the concept of evaluation and use of test results.
  • Supervision of the participant. This approach to training gives the model behaviors to learn, is competency-based and incorporates humanistic training techniques.
  • Within the framework of the learning to master approach, evaluation:
    • is competency-based, meaning it relates to the objectives of the workshop and emphasizes the acquisition of the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed for performance at work and not just The acquisition of new knowledge.
    • dynamic, because it allows participants to receive continuous feedback on their success in achieving the objectives of the course.
    • less stressful, because from the outset participants, individually and collectively, know what they are supposed to learn; They also know where to find the information and they have enough time to discuss it with the trainer.

Maternal, Infant and Young Child Nutrition (MIYCN) Training / Facilitation Guide

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.

Suaahara developed this 6-day training or Facilitator’s Guidebook on Behavior Change Communication (BCC) to improve Maternal, Infant and Young Child Nutrition. It is also intended as a refresher and an aid in increasing the skill of female health community volunteers (FCHVs) through basic theory, micro level teaching and hands-on practice in a community-based Essential Nutrition and Hygiene Actions (ENA/EHA) Behaviour change Communication (BCC) approach. Inclued in the curriculum are sessions on nutrition, SBCC, breastfeeding, complementary feeding, sick child feeding, growht monitoring, nutrition during emergencies, and essential hygiene.
