The Problem

Development organizations recognize the benefit of SBC programming but they often don't know where to start. There's a lot to consider when integrating SBC approaches into program design, implementation, management, and accountability. Even programs with a strong SBC foundation can fail when there's a gap between design (e.g., theory of change) and implementation (tracking each activity).

Our Solution

SBC Impact Designer offers guidance to help you design, plan, manage, and evaluate each step of your social and behavior change program. It integrates SBC best practices, intuitive project management, and human-centered design.

Most importantly, SBC Impact Designer supports collaboration with communities and all stakeholders for learning and success.

USAGE

scenarios

(explore a few examples)

Keep communities in the loop

Include representatives of participating communities. After providing their contact information, you can rely on SBC Impact Designer to automatically alert stakeholders about updates or requested feedback for all relevant program decisions and milestones – whether or not they have a login account on this platform.

Create your MEL plan

Develop your monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) plan with questions to guide your process — along with recommended indicators, participatory tools, and data collection strategies.

Access data collection tools

Access field-tested data collection tools that allow you to dig deeper in order to answer any remaining questions that remain to complete your formative assessment.

Identify behavioral drivers

Identify the relevant behavior drivers for your intended outcomes and formative research. Then, document the research, identify any gaps, and review potential interventions to address key drivers.

Develop your ToC

Develop your social and behavior change Theory of Change (ToC), including intermediate outcomes, best platforms for engagement, risks to be mitigated, and assumptions in the model that must be confirmed before each activity.

Plan and manage your program

Easily set and update the schedule. For each activity, list the participants and assign the responsible staff members. Then, track upcoming activities, assumptions to verify, and monitoring of activities and outputs.

See your program through their eyes

Each activity lists the relevant participants, so you can now preview your program from beginning to end, with activities filtered to each participant type (or persona). Are you expecting too much from this participant? Have you left something out?

Project Status

Over the past year, Amplio has consulted with more than 50 social and behavior change experts from 37 UNICEF country offices to get their input on what SBC Impact Designer should include.

We want your feedback and collaboration, too!
