LC Brief Summary

The Social Norms and Agency Learning Collaboratives (LCs) are four regional networks working independently and together, advancing a shared agenda that promotes research and practice related to the role of agency and social norms in global health and development. The LC network strengthens the capacity of individuals and organizations to support the application of new skills and learning across diverse areas including sexual and reproductive health, HIV, maternal and child health and nutrition, violence prevention, and women’s economic empowerment. The LCs generate evidence on the influence of agency in shifting social and gender norms using social and behavior change approaches and frameworks.
