A social and behavior change strategy provides a “road map” to achieve key social and behavioral outcomes. Nutrition program planners can use this checklist to prepare and outline a new SBC strategy under development. Nutrition program planners and managers can also use this checklist to assess a draft or completed strategy and use the questions or gaps identified to strengthen the SBC strategy. Planners should update an SBC strategy throughout the life of a program, adapting it as as people and contexts change.

Nutrition program planners and managers can use this checklist to consider SBC content to include in an annual work plan or assess a draft.
