The Compass for SBC

Helping you Implement Effective Social and Behavior Change Projects

Innovations Lab – Pere Burkinbila Implementation Manual

The Pere Burkinbila taught fathers how to educate their sons on reproductive health and also challenge male-oriented social norms and practices.

Fathers’ clubs were organized and participants trained on RH, gender, communication and contraception. House visits helped support the fathers in the process, as did the clubs, where fathers share their experiences and their concerns. The implementation manual is complemented by three flip-charts.

Didier – An Edutainment-based Human-Centred Design Project

Didier is a human-centred design (HCD) activity seeking to engage and promote dialogue among young men working in the informal sector of the economy and their partners about contraception and family planning (FP).

Initiated by IDEO.org and Population Services International Côte d’Ivoire (PSI CI) in 2017, the HCD project or intervention prototype is being tested at small scale in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire. It uses dramatized storylines distributed via mobile messaging and Facebook, as well as Facebook interactions and interpersonal communication initiatives, to reach young men aged 15-24.

The objective is to see whether combining interpersonal communications along with a social media based story could be an effective way to engage these men as users of contraception, as partners, and as agents of change with regard to FP.
