Behavior change communication (BCC) is a strategic process that uses communication to promote positive health behaviors and outcomes. It involves formative research, communication planning, implementation, and evaluation. BCC develops tailored messages through various channels to promote individual and community behavior change. The process aims to move people through stages from unaware to sustained behavior change. BCC can be effective at individual, community and national levels by increasing knowledge, skills, and positive attitudes. Some limitations include a focus on materials over conduct and limited local capacity. BCC plays an important role in addressing issues like HIV/AIDS by increasing awareness, stimulating dialogue, advocating for policy changes, and promoting prevention and care services.

Title: BigData, AllData, Old Data: Predictive Analytics in a Changing Data Landscape
Abstract:
The landscape of the platform, access methodologies, shapes, and storage representations has changed dramatically. Much of the assumptions of a structured data world dominated by relational databases have been rendered obsolete. Today’s data analyst faces big challenges and a bewildering environment of technologies and challenges involving semi-structured and unstructured data with access methodologies that have almost no relation to the past. This talk will cover issues and challenges in how to make the benefits of advanced analytics fit within the application environment. The requirement for Real-time data streaming and in situ data mining is stronger than ever. We demonstrate how many of the critical problems remain open with much opportunity for innovative solutions to play a huge enabling role. This opportunity extends equally well to Knowledge Management and several related fields.
This document provides an overview of data mining and big data techniques. It discusses data mining, data science, and how data analytics is used in business. It then covers various data analytics techniques including classification, regression, clustering, text mining, and support vector machines. It also discusses different data types, the data mining process, and how to apply techniques like decision trees, regression, artificial neural networks, and cluster analysis to sample studies.

Theme 2: Initial implementation phases in both countries identified important lessons about integrating the approaches into health systems and scaling up. This included strengthening the health system beyond pilot sites and integrating indicators and guidelines.
Theme 3: Sustaining government ownership required strong political will, empowering communities, integrating services across sectors, defining roles and responsibilities, and ongoing capacity building. Future efforts should focus on sharing lessons learned, updating guidelines and training, and integrating quality
Evidence based nutrition action in SAARCSandipPahari
The SAARC Regional Action Framework for Nutrition aims to ensure children in South Asia grow up healthy and productive. It has four strategic pillars: 1) gain high-level political commitment for multi-sectoral nutrition policies and plans; 2) scale up evidence-based nutrition interventions for women and children; 3) increase human and institutional capacity for nutrition programs; and 4) strengthen monitoring, evaluation and knowledge management. The framework emphasizes proven nutrition-specific interventions during the first 1,000 days of life as well as nutrition-sensitive programs in agriculture, social protection, education, and women's empowerment.
This innovation plan aims to increase awareness and improve behaviors around nutrition in one chiefdom in Sierra Leone. It will promote eating locally grown foods to complement dietary guidelines. Key activities include community meetings, radio programs, drama performances, and training farmers and mothers as nutrition champions. The plan seeks to strengthen coordination between existing nutrition structures and assess status. Target groups are women and children. Governance will ensure stakeholder participation and transparent management. Results will be evaluated through case studies and disseminated nationally and regionally to advocate for scaling up nutrition. The SUN network can support implementation through advocacy, monitoring, and analyzing nutrition policies.
Presentation_Arabi - Breaking Barriers to Improve Health and Nutrition:CORE Group
National-level actions can help strengthen nutrition services delivered by health systems. This includes developing a national nutrition strategy, strengthening leadership and governance, developing implementation plans, and including capacity building and ongoing monitoring in national plans. Convergence between health and nutrition services is important, as seen in India's National Nutrition Strategy which links nutritional interventions to essential health services. Kenya also developed a National Capacity Development Framework to comprehensively address capacity needs at multiple levels. However, challenges in establishing community-facility linkages and limited dedicated nutrition budgets remain barriers to sustainability.
2022 Nutrition Month Presentation
This year’s campaign is guided by the theme “New normal sa nutrisyon, sama-samang gawan ng solusyon!” The theme was approved by the NNC Technical Committee through ad referendum in March. The theme calls for solidarity to address malnutrition in the new normal. It also holds the promise that after this once in a lifetime pandemic, we can recover and build back better through improved nutrition and resilience.
nutrition month campaign particularly its objectives and key messages, how the pandemic affected nutrition, how nutrition and resilience are linked, define new normal and the new normal in nutrition that we want. Lastly, I will share our call for support from among the different sectors so that through our collective effort, we can improve nutrition as we move forward to a better new normal.

Integrating Care Groups into Government Structures: Learning from an Operatio...CORE Group
The document summarizes an operations research study conducted in Burundi comparing a traditional Care Group model led by NGOs to an "Integrated" Care Group model led by the Ministry of Health. The study found that:
1) The Integrated model achieved similar improvements in knowledge and health practices as the traditional model.
2) The Integrated model functioned as well as the traditional model in terms of volunteer attendance and household visits.
3) The Integrated model showed potential for sustainability similar to the traditional model during the initial post-project period.
The Integrated model integrated Care Groups into the Ministry of Health structure using community health workers and showed promise for increasing scale and sustainability while building local capacity.
The document outlines several key nutrition issues facing the region such as high rates of malnutrition, food insecurity, and inadequate nutrition awareness. It also discusses the various organizations that are responding to these issues through programs focused on health, food security, and nutrition education. Finally, it examines the challenges faced in coordinating these efforts and how the district is working to strengthen nutrition governance and prioritize interventions through its Nutrition Action Plan.

This document summarizes several community nutrition programs in Pakistan. It discusses the goals of community nutrition as creating a supportive environment for change and building awareness of health problems. It then describes four key community nutrition programs in Pakistan: 1) The School Health Program managed by the Ministry of Education focuses on school nutrition education. 2) The Micronutrient Initiative screens for and treats micronutrient deficiencies. 3) The Tawana Pakistan Project combats malnutrition among primary school girls through providing meals and nutrition education. 4) The National Program for Family Planning and Primary Health Care provides primary health services and nutrition advice through trained lady health workers.
In Pakistan, community health workers known as Lady Health Workers and Community Midwives provide 29 out of 38 recommended nutrition services across different life stages according to government policies. These services include counseling on breastfeeding, complementary feeding, and micronutrient supplementation. However, policies do not always specify the exact services community health workers are expected to perform. While community health workers play an important role in nutrition, their responsibilities may need to be prioritized to avoid overburdening them.

The document outlines the background, goals, and objectives of a Bachelor of Science in Nursing program. It discusses how the program aims to address Nepal's major challenge of providing basic health care by producing competent nursing professionals at various levels. The objectives of the 4-year BSN program are to equip graduates with advanced nursing knowledge and practical skills needed to deliver high-quality health services, develop research and management abilities, and foster leadership to promote community health.

This document discusses the design and implementation of a Social and Behavior Change Communication (SBCC) strategy to promote nutrition and hygiene practices as part of an agricultural intervention in Sierra Leone. It describes how SBCC was used to influence behaviors related to fish consumption, production, and hygiene along the fish value chain. A five-step process was used: 1) defining problems, 2) framing with theory, 3) designing materials with partners, 4) implementing and monitoring activities, and 5) evaluating objectives. The strategy targeted multiple audiences at national, community, and household levels using various communication channels and materials.
The document discusses community health nursing standards of practice, with a focus on home health nursing. It provides an overview of the Canadian Community Health Nursing standards, which include standards on health promotion, prevention and protection, maintenance and restoration, professional relationships, capacity building, health equity, evidence-informed practice, and professional responsibility. Examples are given of how home health nurses apply each standard in practice, such as providing health education to diabetes patients, encouraging preventative behaviors like handwashing during COVID, and advocating for policies that promote health equity. The standards aim to define excellence in community health nursing and guide nurses in their important work.

The National Nutrition picture:
• Stunting rates indicative of chronic under-nutrition
are high (42% of <5 years) and stagnant
• Stunting rates are not always aligned with food
insecurity:
– high maize and rice producing areas also have
high stunting rates
• Anemia rates are 53% for pregnant women and
40% for women of reproductive age: indicative of
supply and adherence problems:
• Optimal nutrition practices not followed:
– E.g.: no more than 30% of children in any age
group are receiving minimal acceptable diets

10. The National Nutrition Strategy
Guidance on SBCC
• Focus on action: “Enhance behaviours, customs and traditions of men, women,
caregivers, family and community members, and those who influence them-
which impacts positively on nutrition.”
• Cover the full range of nutrition issues, including:
– Breastfeeding and complementary feeding
– Dietary diversity
– Hygiene and sanitation
– Home care of illnesses, and utilization of health services
• Ensure that programmes and projects use consistent community messages, tools
and materials
• Insert nutrition behaviour change counseling and support into all points of
contacts between women, caregivers and service providers

11. The National Nutrition Strategy
Guidance on SBCC cont’d:
• Be guided by a BCC strategy, which is informed by formative research that
establishes the key behaviour issues and the barriers to and facilitators of
interventions to prevent malnutrition.
• Focus not only on the primary target groups, such as women, but also on those
who influence the primary target groups at all levels, including family
members, employers and health service providers.
• Utilize a broad range of channels, including individual and group counseling,
informal gatherings at community level, formal sessions through health
services, school curricula and mass media.
• As individual and group counseling is one of the most effective channels,
enhance the capacity of health service providers to counsel women, caregivers
and family members on the changes in behaviour needed to prevent
malnutrition.

14. TFNC/WHO Landscape Analysis
Findings relevant to the task of SBCC:
• Commitment to accelerate action
– Problem of stunting and micronutrient deficiency not well recognized
or understood (lack of recognition that all children have potential to
grow adequately)
– Nutrition problem seen as one of food availability; not of caring
practices or insufficient services
– “Nutrition is nobody’s responsibility”
– Policy link not made between nutrition and needs of vulnerable groups
– Funding not meeting program needs
– Programs/action not reaching areas of most nutritional need—scale-up
is critical
15. TFNC/WHO Landscape Analysis
Findings relevant to the task of SBCC:
• Capacity to accelerate action
– Human resources: nutritionists and nutrition focal people in ministries
and districts available for scale-up
– Training inadequate: standards, harmonization, scale-up and post-
training follow-up lacking
– Although HWs report implementing more basic preventive nutrition
measures than treatment, their knowledge is higher on treatment /
HIVHWs lack confidence and skills to counsel caregivers appropriately
– Overall lack of capacity and programming for reaching the community
level
16. Therefore…
1. Recognition that poor nutrition situation is not a supply or
health services problem only; changed attitudes, practices and
social norms are critical to good nutrition outcomes.
2. NNS provides general guidance for SBCC Nutrition.
16
17. Therefore…
3. All assessments combined show a need for a robust SBC
Communication program that:
– builds multi-sectoral commitment
– mobilizes and strengthens the capacity of agencies & personnel at all
levels in SBCC
– blends the power of mass media, traditional media and Tanzanian oral
tradition to scale-up pro-nutrition opinions, positive role models, and
actions
– harmonizes the focus on a core set of behaviors and “tipping points”
for positive social change

Gaps:
• No nutrition materials address social norms or
promote pro-nutrition social change, particularly
positive gender norms:
– increased dialogue and joint decision-making
among couples
– increased spousal support for the role of men as
husbands, partners and fathers
– grandmothers as influential advisors and supporters
– women’s increased empowerment to participate in
decision-making and dialogue
• Only one nutrition campaign to date has used
mobile phone technologies to promote behaviors
(Maziwa Campaign; TFNC/MBNP August 2012).
38
39. Therefore, given the current status of nutrition
communications materials…
1. While some existing materials meet the need of the
NNS mandate, there are few that address the broad
social and behavior change vision of the NNS; few
materials in use now will close the KAP gap.
2. Materials do not address behavioural barriers or
resistances nor emotional motivations.
3. Disproportionate reliance on print materials in a
society with a strong oral tradition and culture.
4. New communication technologies and traditional

• Well connected and respected by nutrition stakeholders:
positioned to influence implementation of NNS.
• Recognition of the importance of developing staff expertise in

Other institutional resources:
• Muhimbili University of Allied Health Sciences is initiating a
social and behaviour change and communication course of
study (graduate and professional development degrees)
• Strong private sector capacity for communications
– Creative agencies
– Production agencies
– Media and telecommunications
– Marketing, warehousing and distribution companies
44. Therefore, given the current institutional SBCC
capacity…
Actions necessary to strengthen Government and NGO
SBCC capacity include:
• Developing and vetting a strategy for building SBCC capacity
within government and among local NGOs
• Updating institutional structure, mandates and core functions
of technical departments and staff to better align with SBCC
capacity development
• Prioritizing SBCC training and mentoring using a learning-by-

• Building alliances and partnerships with other institutions such
as universities, creative agencies, private sector, media, etc.
46. 5. Conclusions: SBCC “Readiness”
Q: What is the state of readiness of communication to
support pro-nutrition social change and the specific
behavior shifts that will impact nutrition outcomes?
A: Within the nutrition community, current readiness is
poor, but momentum and willingness is high and the
broader climate is good for SOTA SBCC/Nutrition
development and implementation.
The door is open, we must ensure that opportunities
are not missed!

54. 6. Recommendations
1. Develop a multi-year, multi-sectoral National SBCC
Nutrition Strategy to address nutrition behaviours and
“tipping points” for pro-nutrition social change
2. Update structures, mandates and core functions of
technical departments and staff of lead government and
civil society agencies to better align with state-of-the-art
(needed) SBCC Nutrition program implementation
3. Establish a high level SBCC Task Force / Communication
Board that can support strategic decision-making and
resource mobilization for the implementation of the
National SBCC Nutrition Strategy

5. Forge alliances and partnerships with universities, creative
agencies, private sector, media, to ensure reach, appeal and
long term capacity development
6. Prioritize SBCC Nutrition on-the-job training and mentoring
using a learning-by-doing approach
7. Establish an implementing partners group that will ensure
harmonization of SBCC efforts, support SBCC monitoring and
encourage innovation to overcome implementation bottle-
necks
8. Establish SBCC fora at the regional or district levels to ensure
that approaches are relevant, understood and localized

56. Annex A: Social Change Indicators for SBCC Nutrition1
INDICATOR DEFINITIONS
1. Shift in Definition and An issue or idea is given new meaning. Society sees the issue differently as a result of SBCC for nutrition. “Nutrition” ,
minimum acceptable diet and diet diversity, anemia, childhood stunting and other forms and consequences of
Perception
malnutrition, are defined and perceived differently in the community or larger society.
2. Shift in Leadership Opinion Leaders, Decision-makers and Policy-makers, including government, Parliament, civil society, private sector,
religious leaders are participating in creating a Vision, supporting a Vision, setting direction, championing and motivating,
and holding people, organizations and systems accountable for achieving the goals and objectives of the National Nutrition
Strategy.
3. Strengthened Individual staff have technical capacity to understand and apply SBCC-related theories and best practices, design
Institutional Capacity for evidence-based strategies, develop effective messages and materials, and manage, implement and evaluate
SBCC Nutrition SBCC/Nutrition programs. Institutions have structures and systems aligned to support each major phase of SBCC
programming.
4. Shift in Engagement A greater number and a more diverse array of people, organizations and stakeholders in Tanzanian society are engaged in
nutrition as a result of advocacy and SBCC. Ideally, enough people get involved that they are noticed, voices are heard, i.e.
(Ownership)
a critical mass is reached . More and more individuals and multi-sector stakeholders, including private sector buy into
“Nutrition is MY Responsibility”.
5. Shift in Gender Norms Men and women are behaving and interacting differently as they support pro-nutrition actions. New or enhanced gender
roles supportive of nutrition are considered “normal”, appropriate, and positive in the community and wider society.
6. Increase in Collective Community groups, peer support groups, social support networks, communities, neighborhoods act or work together for a
common cause and collective action to support nutrition.
Actions
7. Shift in Policy An institutional, organizational, or legislative policy or practice has changed. Organizational, local, regional, state, national
or international policy or practices have changed to better serve social change ideals (e.g. specific laws change and/or
institutional systems change or practices change).
8. Shift in Resources Greater resources (human, financial, logistical, etc.) are mobilized from a wider and more diverse array of sectors of
society, including government, civil society, religious, entertainment, private, for-profit, etc.
Mobilized
9. Diffusion of Innovations New or improved technologies from different sectors (e.g. agriculture, water, livestock, telecommunications/ICT, etc.) are
used to support pro-nutrition interventions, behaviors and social norms.
& Technologies
10. Maintaining Past Past gains have been maintained ; funding for nutrition is saved from budget cuts; gains made in
addressing one nutrition priority, such as Vitamin A, are not sacrificed for other nutrition priorities such as maternal
Gains 56
anemia.
