More than 500 social and behaviour change professionals from around Africa and the world will meet from February 19 to 21 in Nairobi, Kenya for the first Africa Social and Behaviour Change Conference (ASBC) set to happen in 2019. The first of its kind, the conference seeks to establish a road map of solutions to promote a thriving African society.
Expected to be the premiere and largest Africa-centric gathering on social and behaviour change communication, the ASBC Conference will run under the theme, “Disruptive SBC strategies for the future of Africa.” With over 150 abstracts received and submissions from across Africa and the world on-going, the ASBC Conference will feature oral presentations, skills building workshops, keynotes, panel discussions and drum talks from seasoned experts and thought-leaders in the field of social and behaviour change communication.
Given that the youth form the largest proportion of Africa’s population, the conference further seeks to place the youth at centre stage of the social behaviour change agenda. Through the Youth Challenge, the ASBC Conference will showcase innovations that work and can be used to not only to advance the discipline but also influence people around the world to improve their lives by changing their behaviour.
