Strategic support to the
RCCE Pillar of the NCDC
The Centre for Communication and Social Impact (CCSI) provides critical and urgent technical, operational strategic communication design support to the Risk Communication pillar of the Nigerian Center for Disease Control (NCDC). The support covers rapidly designing and adapting evidence-based information with compelling, practical, and locally targeted materials. It utilizes behavioral insights and embedded acceptable social norms surrounding important content for COVID-19 across all stages of the pandemic—containment, treatment and care. This support was funded by BMGF and UK AID SCRAP-C Project.
Flagship CSR initiative
RUGAN ARDO ''WASH'' PROJECT
Many public health challenges such as: malnutrition, malaria, water borne diseases etc. faced by communities in Nigeria are largely preventable. Several rural communities in Nigeria lack access to safe drinking-water, sanitation and hygiene services; malaria prevention and treatment services; as well as access to family planning (FP)/childbirth spacing (CBS) services. Women in rural areas are more likely to marry earlier than their urban counterparts, increasing the need for modern family planning. However, women in rural areas are less likely to use modern contraceptives when compared to their urban counterparts.
TUBERCULOSIS:
The Struggle,
The Pain,
The Stigma.
The rate of deaths caused by Tuberculosis in Nigeria is on the high rise as 120,000 persons die annually due to the deadly disease. Watch as these TB Survivors share their journey through the healing process.
Create the kind of world you want to live in.

“At 15, I have two children from three conceptions”
When I got pregnant for the first time, I was merely 13 years old and I suffered a lot; my legs and whole body got swollen because my husband did not allow me to go for Antenatal service as a result of shame.” These are the words of Na’imat Basiru, a teenage mother who already has two children from three conceptions. Lost in a dismal thought …
