What? An expert panel will look at Capacity Strengthening for SBCC in a face-to-face forum in New Delhi that will also be broadcast simultaneously as a webinar.
Why? SBCC capacity strengthening as a concept, and tools/ ideas available, for it, have not been discussed by the SBCC community as a specific topic. It will be an opportunity to learn about the latest developments and thinking in health communication capacity strengthening and the tools available in the context of that.
This will be an opportunity to introduce the HC CS Ecosystem Model and discuss the available tools in the context of that.
Here is the session outline:
- Welcome and Introduction of Speakers by a Springboard India Steering Committee Member (TBD)
