The Activity identified despite the many SBC interventions implemented in the communities, local organizations and especially the civil society organizations do not have sufficient capacity and resources to design, implement, and monitor evidence-based SBC activities. To address these issues, the Activity is partnering with a local organization to strengthen evidence-based design, implementation, and monitoring of SBC activities. The Activity is focusing on enabling local actors to lead implementation of an SBC activity while strengthening support for priority capacities.
