Advancing Health Communication, Saving Lives

National Press Club, Washington, DC

The Health Communication Partnership's End-of-Project Conference

The mandate of the Health Communication Partnership (HCP) has been to strengthen public health in the developing world through strategic communication programs. HCP invites you to its end-of-project forum to learn about and discuss the progress it has made over the last 5 years in areas such as family planning, reproductive health, HIV/AIDS, safe water, gender equity, and in cross-cutting issues. Presentations will focus on impact results, program approaches, new research methodologies, and lessons learned.

In addition to plenary sessions that will address the state-of-the-art and future challenges, smaller sessions will provide participants a more in-depth look at HCP programs and the lessons learned in areas such as designing multi-level communication, improving gender norms, and translating behavior theories into practice.

Funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development, the Health Communication Partnership is a global communication initiative based at the Center for Communication Programs at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, in partnership with the Academy for Educational Development, Save the Children, the International HIV/AIDS Alliance, and Tulane University's School of Public Health.

Lunch will be served.
