On January 26th, 2015, the Results-Based Protection Program held a webinar and launched a discussion forum on Communicating with Communities: Analyzing the role of information and the flow of communication with affected populations to address protection outcomes.
This webinar explored the social norms marketing approach used by the Voices for Change initiative to inspire young people’s attitudinal and behavior change towards women’s role in household decision-making, women’s leadership, and violence against women and girls in Nigeria. The Voices for Change team shared insights around the design of the approach and the monitoring and evaluation system developed to track the audience response to the mass-media communications, changes in attitudes and behaviors throughout the period of implementation, and how the change happened.
Building on current momentum, InterAction’s Protection Team, with support from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) seeks to contribute to a strategic and cultural shift within the humanitarian community to better achieve protection outcomes.
