The African Network for Strategic
Communication in Health and Development (AfriComNet) is an
association of HIV and AIDS, health and development communication
practitioners who reside, work, or have a primary interest
in Africa. Formerly known as the Regional HIV and AIDS Behaviour
Change Communication Network (BCC Network), AfriComNet was
established in October 2001 in recognition of the severity
of the continent’s HIV and AIDS pandemic and the need
for high-quality strategic communication to respond to the
crisis.
AfriComNet’s mission is to strengthen capacity in,
and commitment to strategic communication for health and development
in Africa.
The Network has three Strategic Objectives and these are:
- To promote effective Strategic Communication practices;
- To increase recognition of Strategic Communication as
critical to effectiveness of H&D programming;
- To strengthen organisational capacity, credibility &
visibility of AfriComNet.
- For more information, please download
the 2006-11 strategic plan.
While the Network has a particular emphasis on HIV and AIDS,
it covers communication issues for a broad array of health
and development priorities.
Its approach to communication for social and behaviour change
is grounded in the fundamentals of strategic communication,
which include: social marketing, human rights-based approaches,
entertainment-education, counselling and client education,
and mass media.
AfriComNet currently has more than 758 members in 42 countries
