To address the unmet modern contraception need and high discontinuation rate, Breakthrough ACTION is working with Burundi to shift harmful social norms.
La lutte contre les normes sociales et de genre est un élément essentiel pour parvenir à un changement durable dans le domaine de la planification familiale (PF) et de la santé reproductive (SR). Des normes profondément enracinées influencent souvent l’accès des individus aux services et la prise de décision concernant leur santé et leur bien-être. Toutefois, pour les modifier, il faut adopter une approche nuancée et adaptée au contexte. Nous avons tiré des leçons d’une série de Cercles d’apprentissage axés sur la prise en compte des normes sociales et de genre dans le cadre du changement social et de comportement […]
Addressing social and gender norms is crucial to achieving sustainable change the field of family planning (FP) and reproductive health (RH). Deeply rooted norms often influence individuals’ access to services and decision making around their health and well-being. However, changing them requires a nuanced and context-specific approach. We have harvested insights from a series of Learning Circles events focused on addressing social and gender norms in social and behavior change (SBC) for FP/RH programming. A Collaborative Learning Experience Knowledge SUCCESS’s Learning Circles approach fostered an interactive environment where SBC practitioners exchanged insights and experiences related to FP/RH programming. Held virtually […]
Aujourd’hui, la menace des maladies zoonotiques telles que la variole, le virus Ébola et le COVID-19 est très présente. Comprendre les comportements humains qui influencent la transmission de ces maladies des animaux aux humains, ainsi que leur propagation continue, constitue une étape cruciale pour faire face à ce défi. En Guinée, le risque est accru par la présence de plusieurs maladies zoonotiques endémiques telles que la fièvre de Lassa, l’anthrax et la rage. Les pressions économiques et le sentiment d’impuissancecompliquent l’adoption de comportements de prévention des maladies zoonotiques. Une gestion stratégique des connaissances peut accélérer la mise en place d’une […]
Today the threat of zoonotic diseases like mpox, Ebola, and COVID-19 looms large. Understanding the human behaviors which influence spillover of diseases from animals and ongoing spread is an essential step toward addressing this problem. In Guinea, the risk is heightened by the presence of several endemic zoonotic diseases such as Lassa fever, anthrax, and rabies. Economic pressures and feelings of helplessness make adopting zoonotic disease prevention behaviors difficult. Strategic knowledge management can accelerate an evidence-based response to outbreaks. Health professionals can quickly collect crucial data if they are aware of tested tools and resources and know how to access […]
Le Niger à l’instar d’autres pays dans le monde entier, connait des situations d’urgence sanitaire qui exacerbent souvent les inégalités entre les hommes et les femmes.[1] Les femmes, en particulier dans les zones rurales, subissent souvent le poids de ces crises en raison de leur rôle de soignantes et de leur accès limité à l’information sur la santé. En outre, certains groupes vulnérables, notamment les enfants et les personnes âgées, peuvent être négligés dans les stratégies de réponse aux urgences si les programmes de communication sur les risques et d’engagement communautaire (CREC) n’utilisent pas des approches sensibles au genre.[2] Conscients […]
In Niger and around the world, health emergencies often exacerbate existing gender inequalities.[1] Women, especially in rural areas, frequently bear the brunt of these crises due to their caregiving roles and limited access to health information. Additionally, certain vulnerable groups, including children and the elderly, can be overlooked in emergency response strategies if risk communication and community engagement (RCCE) programs do not use gender-sensitive approaches. Recognizing this gap, Niger’s national leadership, including the Ministry of Public Health, Population and Social Affairs (MPHPSA), alongside regional actors in Niamey, Tahoua, and Zinder, prioritized gender equity and human rights in their health emergency […]
