IEC & social mobilization NTD tool kit.

There is a need for stronger, evidence based, social mobilization approaches and information education and communication (IEC) materials to support behavior change for mass drug administrations (MDA) in the control of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). In order to address this problem this resource on how to design effective social mobilization strategies and IEC materials for MDAs was developed.

This guide takes the user through a step-by-step process to systematically review, revise, develop and adapt current IEC materials and social mobilization approaches. It involves a five step process and the requisite tools to complete each step. The guide and associated tools help NTD program managers and planners develop and or strategically review social mobilization and communication strategies.
