Social and behavior change (SBC) is essential to thriving health systems, which is why JSI integrates SBC into everything we do. This year, JSI is a sponsor of the Africa Social and Behavior Change (SBC) virtual summit. From July 2 to 4, we will join fellow experts, practitioners, policymakers, and thought leaders to discuss and learn how people-centered and locally led change efforts can create better health outcomes for all.
