Health Communication Capacity Collaborative (HC3) in Guinea - Case Studies

Post Ebola, Guinea is rebuilding its health system to deliver higher quality care.  Part of their effort includes gaining trust again from the community, something that dwindled during the epidemic.  Health Communication Capacity Collaborative (HC3) is a five year initiative funded by USAID that is working to address these concerns.  HC3 utilizes a social and behavior change communication (SBCC) strategy to improve health behaviors and services in Guinea. This article contains a series of case studies that were conducted in order to develop successful interventions in the local health center setting.  CHWs were successfully trained to engage in dialogue and encourage healthy behavior within their community.
