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.

More Malaria ITN Use:Access Resources

Continuous Distribution Toolkit

This online toolkit combines current guidance and tools that can support planners and managers of continuous Insecticide-Treated Nets (ITN) distribution programs. A practical guide to planning and management, it also ensures that all currently available resources that support the planning, management, and implementation processes are easily accessible.

This toolkit can support planners and managers of continuous ITN distribution programs. In most cases, they will be the same people who plan and manage ITN distribution strategies overall; this is important because continuous ITN distribution should not take place in a vacuum, but rather should be part of an overall strategy to increase and maintain universal access with ITNs for populations at risk of malaria. Other tools support planning and management of ITN campaign distributions; for example, the Alliance for Malaria Prevention, and the partners’ toolkit for mass campaign distribution can be found at http://allianceformalariaprevention.com/amp-tools/amp-toolkit/.

This guide contains information and resources in many different formats, which will ensure that the needs of each toolkit user can be met in the most efficient way.

The toolkit is comprised of the following sections:

  • Background provides information on the overview of the overall ITN strategy planning and to CD, international recommendations, and guidance; it also includes brief descriptions of the range of the available CD channels. Users first looking to ground their planning and thinking in the context of overall ITN policies and strategies will find this section particularly useful.
  • Choosing CD Channels is a step-by-step guide to selecting the most appropriate CD channels for a given setting—the selection of channels will be documented in the CD section of the national ITN strategy. Tools and templates are provided at relevant points.
  • CD Step-by-Step Implementation is a step-by-step guide to the process of planning and implementing a specific CD channel. Tools and templates to support planning and management are provided at relevant points.
  • Country Examples presents ITN strategies and implementation plans developed by country partners as well as country examples of how CD channels have been implemented.
  • Resources include all the documents, tools, and templates linked throughout this website, cataloged in one place for download.

Counseling for Effective Use of Family Planning [Curriculum]

This counseling curriculum was developed to help recognize counseling as a skill and allocate sufficient classroom time for practicing skills and receiving feedback by addressing the needs of return clients in addition to new clients and by bringing the client perspective into training to trigger client-centered thinking and counseling.

This counseling training curriculum aims to improve the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of trainees in assessing and addressing clients’ FP needs through individualized counseling. Because counseling is recognized as a skill to be mastered, this curriculum puts emphasis on building counseling skills through practice and feedback. The curriculum specifically emphasizes the individual client’s circumstances and broader reproductive health (RH) needs and the importance of considering these factors when helping clients select an appropriate FP method.

The approach to FP counseling training, the content, and the training methods and tools presented in this curriculum are designed to overcome some of the traditional shortcomings of FP counseling.

Sections cover: getting to know the clients, building communication and counseling skills, and provides role play and other training modules.
