The use of quality social and behavior change (SBC) programming is key to achieving nurturing care outcomes. USAID and USAID Advancing Nutrition curated this focused set of resources to inform and guide USAID implementing partners to design and implement more tailored, age-specific infant feeding and responsive care and early learning programming during the first two years of a child’s life. As part of the effort, we have compiled a few key resources for implementers to review and consider to support quality SBC programming, including resources on how to design, implement, and monitor SBC activities—helping programs to prioritize behaviors, conduct research, and strategize, plan, implement, monitor, and evaluate activities.
