INTRODUCTION
Each year, a lot of resources are spent trying to modify
human behaviour. While some intervention strategies are successful, many fall
short of their intended goals. Research shows that those interventions most
likely to achieve desired outcomes are based on a clear understanding of the
targeted health behaviours and the environmental context in which they occur.
Behaviour Change Communication (BCC) has been successfully used by various
health promotion programs to improve the well-being of target populations. It
is a systematic and well-planned process that motivate people to adopt and
sustain health promoting behaviours and lifestyles.
Data-Afrique Consultancy has planned a five-day training
aimed at improving the capacity of service providers, planners and decision
makers of health-oriented programs to establish responsive Behaviour Change
Communication (BCC) programs. This will serve to contribute towards the
achievement of SDG
3 (Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages).
