Health Communication Capacity Collaborative (HC3)

HC3 is the flagship project for behavior change in the Global Health Bureau. It is designed to complement and add value to behavior change activities supported by USAID Missions worldwide by responding to critical needs in technical leadership, capacity strengthening, research, and innovation. It focuses on the technical areas of family planning/reproductive health, HIV/AIDS, malaria, and maternal and child health. HC3 will focus on strengthening in-country capacity to implement state-of-the art health communication, including mass media, community-level activities, interpersonal communication, and new media. The project will provide tailored, capacity strengthening to a range of indigenous partners, including governments, NGOs, creative professionals, and academics, with activities to develop individuals, organizations, and national systems. HC3 will also provide technical leadership in health communication that includes professional exchange, analysis of emerging trends, and development and dissemination of technical and operational guidance. The project will be characterized by a strong focus on implementation science, emphasizing rigorous evaluation, documentation, and diffusion of effective practices.
