As one of our most long-standing areas of work, social and behavior change (SBC) is vital to the achievement of FHI 360's health and development goals. At this year’s SBCC (Social and Behavior Change Communication) Summit, FHI 360 will share the breadth of its SBC work, presenting on topics including digital tools, new technologies, community empowerment and social action. Our experts will share the innovative and sustainable ways we use SBC evidence and approaches to understand and address the complex interplay of individual, social and structural determinants of health and development outcomes.
