            <title>A Behavior Change Perspective on Integrating PMTCT and Safe Motherhood Programs: A Discussion Paper</title>
            <link>http://www.phishare.org/files/676_PMTCT_SafeMotherhood.pdf</link>
            <description><![CDATA[This discussion paper is intended to encourage dialogue and generate feedback from PMTCT and Safe Motherhood (SM) program planners and implementers who share the responsibility for shaping interventions to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV, and to improve maternal and newborn survival through conventional safe motherhood interventions. The paper reviews research results and field experience from a behavior change perspective, to see what can be applied to develop and strengthen the essential behavior change component of PMTCT programs. It briefly discusses some of the operational challenges faced by PMTCT programs documented in the literature, and how a behavior change approach could help to address them.]]></description>

            <link>http://www.phishare.org/files/675_competenciesreport.pdf</link>
            <description><![CDATA[This report summarizes the weeklong process of a conference in Bellagio, Italy, that culminated in a “Functional Map” of the competencies that we propose as needed for a successful practitioner in the field of Communication for Development and Social Change. After an introduction that presents an at-a-glance summary of the Conference, Part I of this report explains the concept of competencies, which was new to most of us in Bellagio. Part II describes what happened at the Conference as participants applied these general concepts to Communication for Development and Social Change. Part III presents the Functional Map for Communication for Development and Social Change that resulted from these discussions. Part IV points to next steps in using the Map to develop education and training programs
and for other purposes. The Appendices provide additional background information about competencies and about the Conference.]]></description>

            <title>A Study to Describe Barriers to Childhood Vaccination in Mozambique</title>
            <link>http://www.phishare.org/files/674_Mozambique Immunization Study.pdf</link>
            <description><![CDATA[The Ministry of Health’s (MOH) Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) has recognized a number of barriers to higher and more timely vaccination coverage, including vaccine stock ruptures; lack of fixed facilities within easy access of approximately half of the population; shortage of well-trained field staff; and misconceptions regarding vaccination by primary care givers and families. Much of the population does not speak Portuguese, and 70 percent of women country-wide are illiterate, compounding the challenge of public education. A number of these factors are the legacy of decades of war, during which health facilities and schools were destroyed, trained staff were lost, and few new professionals were trained.

Little objective, systematic data exists to describe the Mozambican situation with regards to vaccination. An international country case study on communication support for immunization (UNICEF, WHO/AFRO, and USAID 1999) recommended formative research on barriers to and motivations for improving immunization performance.
USAID funded the MOH, through Project CHANGE, to conduct such a study during 2002/3. This report presents study results. Implementation]]></description>
