Behavior Change Impact Website
A unique online collection of evidence databases that shows the positive impact of SBC in family planning and other health areas.
CCP’s Knowledge SUCCESS has produced three knowledge solutions to transform the way FP/RH professionals around the world find, share, and use knowledge to improve family planning programs.
At the Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs, we believe that access to family planning is critical to solving many of the world’s most pressing health problems. Our roots as an organization are in developing evidence-based ways to address barriers to family planning to increase access to the people who need it most. We do this by addressing social norms, making conversations about family planning more acceptable in homes and communities, improving attitudes toward modern contraception, communicating the most up-to-date information on family planning – whatever it takes to make change.
