Abstract

The goal of the Science Granting Councils Initiative (SGCI) is to strengthen the capacities of the Science Granting Councils in sub-Saharan Africa to manage research, design and monitor research programs, and formulate and implement evidence-based policies. A Facilitation Guide for developing a Social and Behavior Change (SBC) Communication and Advocacy Strategy for Science Granting Councils is meant to direct users through steps that will lead to developing a National SBC&A strategy for each respective SGC. This paper outlines goals and tasks for developing the Facilitation Guide and SBC Strategy, drawing from current research models, communication strategies, knowledge management approaches and activities.
