Descripción del programa
This five-day professional development course equips participants with technical capabilities to design, execute, and monitor social and behaviour change programmes dedicated to maternal and child health. Convened in Chiang Mai, the curriculum concentrates on closing the divide between public health knowledge and everyday care practices. Practitioners examine evidence-based communication frameworks and diagnostic tools that reveal contextual determinants of maternal nutrition, infant care, and household dietary allocation, preparing teams to craft culturally aligned, high-impact community interventions.
Delegates undertake structured analyses of real-world operational challenges, translating clinical guidance into practical community counselling modules. The sessions walk through the socio-ecological model, the Health Belief Model, and barrier analysis methodologies to address root causes of poor nutrition outcomes. Emphasis is placed on creating clear, non-prescriptive interpersonal communication packages that front-line workers can implement efficiently within diverse local contexts, ensuring that critical health messages successfully resonate with expectant mothers, primary carers, and influential community gatekeepers.
The final stage of the programme focuses on strengthening accountability and operational measurement within donor-funded project environments. Participants formulate robust monitoring and evaluation frameworks equipped with standard indicators to measure behavioural adoption, compliance, and sustained practice change over time. By combining programme design principles with rigorous tracking mechanisms, the training enables institutions to optimise resource allocation, refine ongoing outreach, and demonstrate tangible health and nutrition improvements to international financing institutions and national stakeholders.
The programme addresses an urgent need to align financial support with lasting health outcomes across vulnerable settings, directly delivering on the behavioural change and nutrition goals central to initiatives such as the Maternal and Child Cash Transfers for Improved Nutrition Project. Income supplements alone cannot resolve chronic malnutrition without targeted, evidence-based guidance on infant and young child feeding, diverse dietary practices, and antenatal care attendance. Establishing robust social and behaviour change frameworks ensures that cash transfers translate into measurable nutritional gains, improved household care practices, and resilient child development outcomes.
Delivered by Risalat Consultants International in Chiang Mai, Thailand, it combines expert-led sessions, real cases and group work, so that participants can apply what they learn in their own institution.
