This resource brings together current best practices to guide program planners and/or implementers in the design and implementation of social and behaviour change (SBCC) program. Integrated SBCC refers to SBCC programming designed to cohesively address more than one health or development issue within the same program. Typically, this involves developing a logical and unified SBCC strategy that addresses multiple topics and/or behaviors and considers how they relate or interact with one another. Examples of integrated programs include:
· Reproductive, maternal, new-born and child health (RMNCH)
· WASH
· Communicable and Non Communicable disease prevention
· Sexual reproductive health (SRHR)
· Immunization and family planning
· Human resources for health
