The RBM Partnership to End Malaria (RBM) Social and Behaviour Change Working Group (SBC WG), consistent with its Terms of Reference, aims to examine the current state of the science and art in social and behaviour change communication. The SBC WG provides a forum to exchange malaria SBC best practices and experiences; advocate for political, social, and financial resources for SBC as a core component of malaria control; and promote the development of theory-informed, evidence-based SBC programming at the country level.
In place of the 9th Annual Meeting, the SBC WG held the 2022 Virtual Forum on September 28 and 29, 2022 to explore a wide range of malaria SBC content.
