Music and the Ecology of Fear - Kanyeleng Women Performers
Looking forward to present my paper on Music and the Ecology of Fear: Kanyeleng Women Performers and Ebola Prevention in The Gambia @ the forth coming SBCC summit.
Very much delighted to be associated with this great initiative which I believed will give me the opportunity to learn new innovative ideas, theories and evidence based strategies and approaches for effective implementation of Social and Behavior Change Communication for improved uptake of Health services.

Dance to the music
This sounds just amazing. I hope there will be a session to dance to the music. Reminds me of the Djandjoba in Burkina Faso.
The power of music beyond as entertainment education is immense and its interesting to see how this has worked for Ebola prevention and tackling fear.

A combination of music dance and drama plus sports galas
Youths are energetic with vibrant enthusiasm but deeply vulnerable to the effects of their changing biological and psych-social dimentions. To some youths, this transitional period puts them at risk of making poor SRH decisions. Engaging the youth through sports galas combined with educational music dance and drama can be an opportunity to give sexual reproductive information , SRH services such family planning , HIV counselino and testing as well as offering referrals for other conditions. Learn more about this approach at the SBCC Summit .
Targeting psychological factors to ending open defecation
SBCC intervention should be designed based on the behaviourAL attributes of the target. I will be presenting a study entitled " the rope of psychological predictors for the adoption and consistent use of sanitation facilities in rural Ethiopia.
