Liberia
In Liberia, Breakthrough ACTION is dedicated to enhancing the effectiveness and quality of social and behavior change activities to promote health service demand and use, improve household health, and bolster community structures.
The initiative aims to amplify the adoption of priority health behaviors and is operational across 12 counties, focusing on the health areas of malaria; maternal, newborn, and child health; family planning and reproductive health; adolescent health; nutrition; water, sanitation, and hygiene; prevention of priority zoonotic diseases; and integrating COVID-19 vaccines into routine immunization. Through partnerships with the Government of Liberia and other key stakeholders, Breakthrough ACTION seeks to develop innovative social and behavior change interventions at scale and enhance local institutions’ social and behavior change capacity for better health outcomes.
