Lessons Learned for SBC Programming from the USAID Zika Response

This technical report outlines Breakthrough RESEARCH’s efforts to document lessons learned in social and behavior change (SBC) programming from the USAID Zika response, which consists of a review of documentation, a qualitative evaluation through stakeholder interviews, an online survey assessing utilization of SBC technical guidance documents, and an assessment of data collection instruments.

This document focuses on SBC strategic design, planning, implementation, and evidence generation efforts within the USAID Zika response, which can inform USAID and other key bilateral and multilateral stakeholders on how to apply lessons learned to future Aedes aegypti-borne disease outbreaks and other public health emergency responses.
