Applying the BEHAVE Framework:

A Workshop on Behavior Change Programming

Sponsored by the CORE Social and Behavior Change Working Group
and the CHANGE Project

The Sunway Hotel, Phnom Penh, Cambodia
February 3-7, 2003


Workshop participants listen to a presentation

Applying the 'BEHAVE' Framework" was an opportunity for managers and staff of health projects to experience how a behavioral framework can aid them in planning their project strategically. The workshop was based on the BEHAVE Framework as found in the most recent version of the Child Survival Grants Program Technical Reference Materials.

Sixty-one participants from 18 organizations and eight countries attended the workshop.

 

 

The Social and Behavior Change Working Group identified several objectives for the workshop. Presentations and activities were planned so that by the end of the workshop, participants would be able to:

  • Describe the four strategic planning decisions of the BEHAVE Framework:
    • Priority and Supporting Groups
    • Behavior
    • Key Factors
    • Activities
  • Describe their own programs in terms of the four decisions of the BEHAVE Framework
  • Plan and critique programs that apply behavioral theory
  • Adapt for their own program planning a quick, participatory method – the Doer/Non-Doer Analysis – for identifying factors most influential in changing a behavior
  • Identify appropriate indicators for monitoring and evaluating the behavior change effectiveness of their programs

The workshop blended presentations on the Framework with small group sessions in which participants could immediately apply what they had learned. Lectures illustrated how the Framework can be and has been used in various settings to plan health behavior change

interventions. Participants then worked on case studies in which they created their own frameworks for their chosen area. At the end of the week, groups prepared a poster representing their framework and shared it with the larger group.

One of the week's highlights included field visits to several project sites. Participants were able to visit a project area from either World Vision or ADRA and speak with groups of village health volunteers, mothers, and health care workers.

This is the second field workshop sponsored by the CORE Social and Behavior Change working group. The content of this week-long workshop closely followed the content of the previous "BEHAVE" workshop in South Africa in 2002. All PowerPoint presentations from "Applying the 'BEHAVE Framework" in Phnom Penh are available from this page by clicking on the presentation name in the agenda below. If you would like more summary information related to the BEHAVE Framework itself, please refer the the online report from the South African "Learn to 'BEHAVE'" workshop.

If you participated in either the South Africa or Cambodia workshops on the BEHAVE Framework and would like to replicate the training for your own organization, please contact either Anton Schneider or Ann Jimerson at the CHANGE Project.
