  1. Food Security and Nutrition NetworkSBC Task Force, Meeting #4 April 20, 2011

  2. Agenda • Update on FSN Network Spring Meeting SBC sessions. • Update on the multisectoral Designing for Behavior Change training manual. • Discussion of a dedicated SBC Officer as part of all new MYAPS. • Discussion of the SBC Wiki. • Decision on how to define SBCTF buy-in / endorsement and use of FSN Network logo. • Discussion of an SBC self-assessment tool.  • Other topics, announcements??

  3. Update on FSN Network Spring Meeting SBC sessions • Barrier Analysis for Ag/NRM(Judiann McNulty will present, Tom updates) • SBC Core Competencies(report by Ashley Aakesson)

  4. Update on Multisectoral Designing for Behavior Change Training Manual • Consultants hired: Linda Morales (lead) with input from Judiann McNulty and Bonnie Kittle • Looking for (a) suggested modifications to the manual (e.g., training activities that do not work, to add); and (b) Ag/NRM BA examples. (Please respond to Linda Morales’ email about DBC modifications.) • Hoping to have draft by June/July. Need to field program (Madagascar MYAP?) test the modified manual and have SBCTF members review draft (divide by chapters). • May be able to do a Africa Regional ToT on the new ms-DBC in August or September.

  5. SBC Position for MYAPs? • Pros: An SBC point person could help with building competencies and making sure SBC considerations are included in program design and implementation (like done for M&E). • Cons: May separate out SBC from technical sectors and lead to the problem that Bill Smith brought up: Having technical managers/experts “give” SBC what they want to promote rather than working collaboratively. • Some Field input(Jen Peterson, Madagascar MYAP): “I would prefer that we also advocate that communication be integrated into technical posts (health/nutrition, agriculture/livelihoods, DRR, environment, etc) .... I do see a huge need for communication specialists….  I don’t think one approach excludes the other.. [but we should not] always separate the message from the messenger.” (Should we ask for more field practitioners to comment??) • Weigh in:Should we advocate for an SBC position as part of all new MYAPs? • (If so, consider writing a generic job description.)

  6. SBC “Wiki” • Intended Content: How to build skills for each core competency; where to find information products, methods, and tools related to each competency; how to resolve problems associated with each competency; Etc. • See example (web tour or share screen): https://docs.google.com/a/fh.org/document/d/1PEGohjO7fJuN4arQxRP5jz0dI4Gsb-gBZUiXKPvhMbc/edit?hl=en&ndplr=1 • Decide: Would this be a useful HQ tool? Field tool? Shall we build it? • If we will use it: Divide up sections – write useful FAQ, add content. Schedule separate (brief) “how to” session.

  7. Use of the FSN Network Logo – SBCTF “Buy in” / Endorsement • The Need: To decide on which posted presentations, IMT, etc., we should put the FSN Network logo on (e.g., narrated presentations) that indicates our endorsement. • Decide: What process should we use to assure buy in / endorsement by the SBCTF? What about lurkers / non-attending members? At least majority voting positively? 75%? • (Example: What about the Persuasion Principles presentation recently posted?)

  8. SBC Self-Assessment Tool • Based on SBC core competencies. • Tool emailed out yesterday, so not expecting feedback/mark-up today, but hope to get it by Spring Meeting (May 9). • Decide: Who should take the assessment? All staff doing SBC in a MYAP? People most in charge? (Problem of not having a point person.)
