Listen up: are you a young and upcoming professional in the Social and Behavior change field? Join us for the biggest SBC event in Africa!

This is an opportunity to network with other African SBC professionals and to influence the international SBC agenda.

The event will take place on the 2nd of July 2024. The summit aims to bring together innovative concepts and practices in social and behavior change (SBC) that are tailored to the dynamic culture and context of African people. The theme for the summit is "Cultivating Resilience and Relevance," which emphasizes the need to align SBC techniques, tools, and approaches with the rapid technological and societal changes happening in Africa and around the world.

It seeks to initiate a dialogue on integrating the diverse social frameworks of the continent into SBC programming. By leveraging the knowledge and wisdom of local communities, the objective is to create SBC strategies that are sustainable, effective, and adaptable enough to meet the needs of Africa's ever-evolving narrative.
