Social and Behavior Change Communication - Capacity Assessment Tool (SBCC-CAT) for use with donors and networks

The tool is intended to help agencies identify areas for improvement and develop a capacity strengthening plan. The assessment tool consists of three steps: Assessing SBCC Capacity, Reviewing Materials, and Developing a Capacity Strengthening Plan. Step 1, Assessing SBCC Capacity, is further divided into two components: Understanding the Context through Situation Analysis and Focusing and Designing the Communication Strategy. Component 1: Understanding the Context through Situation Analysis involves a situation analysis, which is a systematic review of social, cultural, political, and behavioral data to identify internal and external determinants of a situation. Agencies are asked to assess their capacity to conduct a situation analysis, including gathering and analyzing information to guide the planning and design process for SBCC programs. This includes identifying relevant stakeholders and reviewing their activities during the situation analysis. Component 2: Focusing and Designing the Communication Strategy involves developing a communication strategy that guides and links decisions on intended audiences, communication objectives, channels, and materials based on analysis and SBCC theories. Agencies are asked to assess their capacity to design SBCC programs, including selecting audiences and segmenting them into specific groups to tailor programs effectively, setting SMART communication objectives that address barriers to change, and proposing using more than one communication channel to reach audiences. The assessment tool provides a framework for agencies to evaluate their capacity in these areas and identify areas for improvement. The tool also provides a basis for developing a capacity strengthening plan to address these areas and improve the agency's capacity to implement effective SBCC programs. The tool is designed to be used by agencies to assess their capacity and identify areas for improvement. It is intended to be a self-assessment tool, but it can also be used by external assessors to evaluate an agency's capacity. The tool provides a comprehensive framework for assessing capacity in the areas of situation analysis and communication strategy development. The assessment tool is based on a set of questions and scoring criteria that are designed to evaluate an agency's capacity in the areas of situation analysis and communication strategy development. The questions are designed to be answered by agency staff, and the scoring criteria provide a basis for evaluating the agency's capacity. The tool is intended to be used in conjunction with other capacity assessment tools and frameworks to provide a comprehensive evaluation of an agency's capacity. It is designed to be used by agencies that are implementing or planning to implement SBCC programs, and it is intended to be a useful tool for agencies that are seeking to improve their capacity in these areas. The assessment tool is based on a set of principles and guidelines that are designed to ensure that the assessment is conducted in a fair and transparent manner. The tool is designed to be used by agencies that are committed to improving their capacity and implementing effective SBCC programs. The tool is intended to be used by agencies that are implementing or planning to implement SBCC programs in a variety of settings, including developing countries and developed countries. It is designed to be a useful tool for agencies that are seeking to improve their capacity in the areas of situation analysis and communication strategy development. The assessment tool is based on a set of research and best practices in the field of SBCC. It is designed to be a useful tool for agencies that are seeking to improve their capacity in the areas of situation analysis and communication strategy development.
