Impact Santé Afrique : Non-governmental organization
Title: National expert in social and behavior change communication and community engagement

Location: Cameroon

Ref.: D209/EAP/2024

I. Background
Impact Santé Afrique (ISA) is a Cameroon-based non-governmental organization whose main
objective is to contribute to the improvement of people's health by implementing
transformative and sustainable programs (for more information, visit www.impactsante.org).
As part of the “Equité Accès Palu” project, funded by the Initiative over a 3-year period,
Impact Santé Afrique wishes to develop specific communication materials adapted to the
needs of populations vulnerable to malaria. Indeed, social and behavioral change strategies
generally aim to develop communication materials for the general public (posters,
billboards, TV and radio spots). However, there is a need for materials and messages
specifically targeted to the beliefs and contexts of vulnerable groups; targeted messages
that can be used in interpersonal communication and that are aligned with NMCP messages,
but will be more relevant to the contexts and needs of vulnerable groups.
To do this, ISA will use the human-centered approach to involve vulnerable communities
themselves, including internally displaced populations, orphans, refugees, indigenous
populations, people with disabilities, pregnant women and children under 5.
With this in mind, ISA is recruiting a national expert in communication for social and
behavioral change to organize community engagement workshops, for the co-design of
prototype communication tools adapted to the various targets mentioned above.
