Campaigns (6)

CampaignClientYearTopicRole
Malaria social and behaviour change campaign (five states, Nigeria) lead
2012-2017 campaign; endline mediation analysis by CCP authors links message recall to bed-net ideation and use (cross-sectional). Implementer not named in the abstract. Fetched (PubMed abstract) 2026-10-22.
USAID / President's Malaria Initiative2012MalariaResearch evaluation
Brothers for Life
Men 30+; HIV prevention, gender-based violence, alcohol, multiple partners, medical male circumcision. CCP's site announces the launch with Johns Hopkins Health and Education in South Africa (JHHESA) among the partners; Sonke Gender Justice's page calls it 'a joint campaign by JHHESA' with NDoH, SANAC and Sonke (fetched). That JHHESA is CCP's South Africa office comes from a search snippet only, so role left 'unknown'. 2012 National Communication Survey preliminary results (snippet only): about 60% reach, no direct effect on multiple partners; JHHESA's sister programme Scrutinize reportedly increased favourable attitudes to multiple partners (possible boomerang; verify).
SANAC / South African National Department of Health / USAID-PEPFAR2009HIV/STIUnknown
Fataki (cross-generational sex)
Developed by CCP's Strategic Radio Communication for Development (STRADCOM) project with Media for Development International. Fetched 2026-10-22.

Zambia youth HIV campaign1999HIV/STIResearch evaluation
Radio Communication Project (Nepal) lead
Two entertainment-education radio serials (public soap opera and distance-education serial for health workers) plus spots; panel survey found increased family planning adoption attributable to the project, largely via ideation (Storey et al. 1999, CCP authors).

Research notes

University centre in the Bloomberg School of Public Health, created 'more than 35 years ago' (about page, fetched 2026-10-22). Designs and evaluates SBC campaigns, usually USAID-funded, through country offices and local partners; it is both maker and evaluator, so its evaluations are not independent. Agency kind: no 'academic' kind exists; 'public-health-specialist' is the closest (could also be research-evaluation). Tanzania's 'Twende na Wakati' radio soap (1993-) was Population Communications International with Radio Tanzania, not CCP; evaluation Rogers et al. 1999, PMID 10546311 (abstract does not name the producer) - a lead for a future PCI Media record.
