Project: Breakthrough RESEARCH
These research spotlights apply the research questions to two current SBC projects: USAID Tulonge Afya’s NAWEZA Platform (an integrated SBC project) and Beyond Bias (a PBC project).
Breakthrough RESEARCH accelerates social and behavior change (SBC) by conducting state-of-the-art research and evaluation and promoting evidence-based solutions to improve health and development programs around the world.
