Founded in 1933 at the call of Albert Einstein, the IRC is one of the world’s largest international humanitarian non-governmental organizations (INGO), at work in more than 50 countries and more than 25 U.S. cities helping people to survive, reclaim control of their future and strengthen their communities. A force for humanity, IRC employees deliver lasting impact by restoring safety, dignity and hope to millions. If you’re a solutions-driven, passionate change-maker, come join us in positively impacting the lives of millions of people world-wide for a better future. USAID and other humanitarian actors are working closely with the Government of Adamawa state to implement a resettlement plan for internally displaced persons (IDPs) across 49 sites in selected local government areas (LGAs). The aim is to transition all IDPs in formal and informal camps from dependency on emergency humanitarian aid to independent and self-sustaining residents of Adamawa state. Access to essential health services has been identified as one of the priority needs of the resettlement project, and the USAID’s Health Population and Nutrition Office (HPN) office would be supporting the Adamawa state government to overcome this aspect of the needs. One of the USAID-funded Projects that will be supporting the Adamawa state resettlement Plan is the HeRON (Health Resilience of Northeast) Project with a mandate to provide quality and comprehensive primary health care and Nutrition services in Adamawa States of Northeast Nigeria. One of the building blocks of health system strengthening is Human Resource Development for Health workers. To achieve this outcome, HeRON will carry out an advocacy visit to the local government health authorities (LGHA) and state primary health care development agencies to strengthen the existing policies on training needs and recruitment of health personnel across all pillars within 49 supported health facilities in 14 LGAs within Adamawa hence contributing toward a more resilient health system and universal health care coverage. The Adamawa State Government, in collaboration with various development partners, is focused on improving health outcomes through the implementation of demand creation activities within the state. The Ward Development Committees (WDC), Community Health Influencers, Promoters, and Services (CHIPS) agents, and other community structures play a pivotal role in mobilizing communities and increasing awareness on critical health issues. To strengthen these efforts, there is a need for a comprehensive Social and Behavior Change Communication (SBCC) strategy that can guide the dissemination of key health messages and foster positive health-seeking behaviors across the communities. The SBCC strategy will be integral in creating demand for essential health services, particularly in maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH), family planning, immunization, and nutrition. The strategy will also support the development of Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) materials tailored to the cultural and social contexts of the communities in Adamawa State. Thus, developing key messages to address concerns, link aspirations as well as inform demand for health care services are paramount. Furthermore, the use of several community-based structures will be key to sustainable improving such demand for PHC services even beyond several/respective project lives. Consequently, the development of a Social and Behaviour Change Communication (SBCC) strategy for Adamawa state as well as disseminate key messages with the WDC, CHIPS agents, and other community structures, to improve demand for primary health care services in Adamawa state is apt and timely. These materials will be disseminated through community sensitization activities led by WDCs, CHIPS agents, and other community structures.

Ensure the strategy is aligned with national health communication guidelines and is tailored to the specific cultural and social contexts of Adamawa State. Incorporate approaches for engaging key community stakeholders, including religious and traditional leaders, to support the dissemination of health messages. Development of IEC Materials: Design and develop culturally appropriate IEC materials, including posters, flyers, brochures, and radio messages, that align with the SBCC strategy.

Capacity Building: Support the conduct of training sessions for WDCs, CHIPS agents, and other relevant community structures on the use of the SBCC strategy and IEC materials.
