TCI Nigeria aims to strengthen the Social Behavior Change (SBC) system within the current 11 TCI supported states so that stakeholders can address the health needs of local households and communities and ultimately improve outcomes on  family planning, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health and nutrition. In collaboration with the state social behavior change committee (SBCC), TCI Nigeria works closely with the State Health Promotion unit to organize and facilitate a series of systematic assessments to gauge their capacity in SBC design, implementation, evaluation, and coordination.

The goal of the SBCC Capacity Assessment Tool (SCAT) is to:

  • Review and discuss existing SBC capacity of the State Health promotion units of government.
  • Understand SBC needs and gaps at the State and LGA levels  of government.
  • Develop a capacity-strengthening plan for the States  based on identified needs and gaps in SBC.
