Social and behavior change in NTD programs

This quick guide will help organizations develop and support behavior change programs for NTD control and elimination that are effective, sustainable and appropriate. It does not offer a definitive or recommended set of interventions. Many resources, theories and approaches for the design of behavioral interventions already exist, so rather than add or replace those resources this guide will:

• Provide an entry point into SBC specifically for NTDs.
• Share key lessons and principles to guide SBC program design, delivery and evaluation.
• Provide minimum actions recommended for all programs using SBC to improve NTD outcomes.
• Provide guidance on resources necessary for SBC within NTD programs.
