Social and Behavior Change Communication (SBCC).. the systematic application of interactive, theory‐
based, and research‐driven communication processes and strategies to address tipping
points for change at the individual, community, and social levels. A tipping point refers to the dynamics of social
change, where trends rapidly evolve into permanent changes.
SBCC has Three Characteristics:
1. SBCC is a process: a. It is interactive, researched, planned, and strategic. B.
It aims to change social conditions and individual behaviors.
2. SBCC applies a comprehensive, socioecological model to identify effective tipping
points for change by examining: a. individual knowledge, motivation, and other behavior
change communication concepts b. social, cultural, and gender norms, skills, physical and economic
access, and legislation that contribute to an enabling environment
3. SBCC uses three key strategies: a. advocacy:: to raise resources as well as political and social leadership
commitment to development actions b. social mobilization—for wider participation, coalition building, and
ownership, including community mobilization c. behavior change communication—
for changes in knowledge, attitudes, and practices among specific audiences
