Urban Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health SBCC I-Kit Launch Webinar

Written by: Marla Shaivitz | Digital Communications Manager, HC3 on October 21, 2015

This webinar was held on October 21, 2015 and introduced attendees to HC3’s Urban Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health Social and Behavior Change Communication Implementation Kit (I-Kit).

The I-Kit is designed to help program managers design and implement sound social and behavior change communication (SBCC) sexual and reproductive health (SRH) programs for 10 to 19 year-olds living in urban areas. While the I-Kit was written with the vast Sub-Saharan Africa context in mind, it is meant to be adaptable according to any country, city and project. The I-Kit highlights seven “Essential Elements” of SRH SBCC programs for urban adolescents, and guides users through each Element with explanatory text, interactive worksheets and activities, and engaging visuals. The I-Kit also provides definitions of SRH, SBCC and adolescence as a life stage to clearly orient users to the I-Kit’s content, and presents a fictional cast of characters in an imagined city to help demonstrate the I-Kit’s principles.
