Featured Projects

Active Prevention and Transformative Communication (PACT) [1]

The Prévention Active et Communication Transformatrice (Active Prevention and Transformative Communication) Program (PACT) is a two-year program (September 2011-September 2013) implemented by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Center for Communication Programs (JHU•CCP) in partnership with USAID, PEPFAR and local partners in Côte d’Ivoire.

The overall goal of the project is to reduce HIV infections, support national programs to improve the quality of care and treatment services and improve lives of people living with or affected by HIV/AIDS using PEPFAR resources. PACT is designing social and behavioral communication (SBC) programs for selected audiences and building the capacity of the Ministry of Health and AIDS and nongovernmental partners to develop and implement SBC interventions.

Sports for Life (SFL) [2]

Sports for Life (SFL), funded by USAID/West Africa and PEPFAR, was an HIV/AIDS prevention and care program for youth. Originally implemented under the Health Communication Partnership (HCP), the CCP-led SFL project improved lives and motivated youth in both rural and urban environments in eight countries across Africa. CCP launched an SFL pilot in Côte d’Ivoire in August 2006. SFL used soccer as a foundation to promote life skills and healthy behaviors among youth. The program centered on a series of interactive games and small group activities, including community outreach.

The Next Generation of Social and Behavior Change Communication (SBCC) [3]

As a Social and Behavior Change Communication (SBCC) partner to PEPFAR in Cote D’Ivoire, CCP builds capacity in the area of SBCC and provides technical support and tools for PEPFAR partners for HIV prevention. In Côte d’Ivoire, CCP’s programs aim to reduce the prevalence of HIV/AIDS in collaboration with a variety of partners including JHPIEGO, PSI, ANADER, The HIV/AIDS Alliance, Hope Worldwide, and CARE International.
