4. Data and Reporting Insights:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It was observed that some partners may be underreporting certain achievements due to use of less-relevant indicators. Partners were guided to refine their M&E frameworks<\/strong> to better capture the true impact of awareness creation and behavioral change efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Human-Centered Design (HCD) Communication:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Busara<\/strong> and Kangaroo Media<\/strong> led a session on effective communication under HCD approaches, reminding partners that communication indicators are process indicators that drive behavioral change.

Move on Africa<\/strong> supported partners in aligning process and outcome indicators and refining implementation strategies to strengthen measurable impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Looking Ahead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The final day of the workshop focused on scalability and impact<\/strong> \u2014 how to expand reach and effectiveness while maximizing available resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
