  • Designing behavioural science-based strategies, e.g. social and behaviour change communication (SBCC) strategies
  • Designing behavioural science-based programmes using Intervention Mapping and other frameworks
  • Evaluating behavioural science-based programmes
  • Analysing programmatic research for behavioural insights
  • Conducting formative research for behaviour change projects
  • Providing technical support on all aspects of behavioural science-based programmes
  • Training on behavioural science and its application to various thematic areas

Here are some examples of projects we worked on.
