03 / Areas of workWhere communication
Where communication
becomes action.
From health and education to livelihoods and social norms, our work is connected by one ambition: people-centred, evidence-informed change.
We use community mobilisation, interpersonal communication, media and advocacy to support healthier choices in maternal and child health, adolescent health, HIV prevention, family planning, immunisation and nutrition.
We develop engaging radio dramas, short films, skits and digital storytelling that inform, influence and inspire action across different platforms and audiences.
Through dialogue, hygiene campaigns and school-based initiatives, we promote safe water, sanitation, handwashing and menstrual hygiene practices.
We work to challenge harmful gender norms, prevent gender-based violence and promote the inclusion of women, girls and vulnerable populations.
We support young people as change agents through civic engagement, peer education, leadership development and informed health choices.
Community-driven communication can support food security, climate-smart agriculture and income-generating practices, particularly for rural and marginalised populations.
We strengthen community structures through participation, governance, dialogue, accountability and locally owned action.
We generate behavioural insights, apply participatory research and test communications tools to help interventions adapt, improve and scale.
