Behaviour Change Communication (BCC) for Community-Based Volunteers: Volunteer Toolkit

This volunteer toolkit contains technical materials needed to conduct training for community-based volunteers involved in behaviour change for malaria prevention and control. It is part of a set of publications produced by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies to provide a training package for facilitators, supervisors, and volunteers involved in malaria work. The Behaviour Change Communication (BCC) toolkit comprises two manuals - one for volunteers and one for trainers - which together include all the instructions and technical materials needed to conduct a three day training course for trainers (ToT) and a two day training course for community-based volunteers on BCC.

The Volunteer toolkit contains key messages, short guides, and other tools that will be handed out to training participants and used by volunteers to help them conduct BCC activities in their own community. The Volunteer toolkit includes the following sections.

• Session 1: Introductory session
• Session 2: Introduction to behaviour change communication (BCC)
• Session 3: Developing messages
• Session 4: Methods Part 1: Health talks, cue cards and demonstrations
• Session 5: Methods Part 2: Short plays and songs
• Session 6: Methods Part 3: Home visits to deliver health messages
• Session 7: Group project and presentations
