The third out of five webinars follows up on the previous webinar that explained how to conduct formative research that identifies the main barriers and enablers to change (see webinar recording). The webinar is designed to help practitioners use their formative research findings to design an effective social and behaviour change (SBC) strategy. In the course of the webinar you will be able to learn:

• the key steps involved in preparing an SBC strategy
• what should a good SBC strategy consist of
• which tools can help you in designing SBC strategy

Note: To access this webinar, you will need to register and be logged in to your Zoom account. If you don't have a Zoom account, you can create one here for free.

The webinar is part of a webinar series running through the second half of 2020. It aims to help people integrate SBC effectively into each stage of their interventions, especially in the context of agricultural, food security and nutrition projects in low-income countries. Throughout the entire series, experienced SBC practitioners and researchers share useful guidance and inspiration on a range of topics, including:

• SBC essentials (1st webinar)
• identification of the key barriers and motivators to change (2nd webinar)
• design of SBC strategies (3rd webinar)
• development of effective SBC messages and materials (4th webinar)
• effective monitoring and evaluation of SBC interventions (5th webinar)

All webinars are in English; however, recordings with French subtitles will be available shortly after each webinar.

The webinars are an excellent opportunity for people to gain comprehensive knowledge, skills and inspiration for facilitating behaviour change in an effective way. Therefore, we encourage you to share this invitation extensively with your colleagues and partner organizations, especially those in countries affected by higher levels of food and nutrition insecurity.
