BRD Program- Community Engagement Through Social Behaviour Change (SBC) and Accountability to the Affected Population.

BRD is thrilled to announce our newest partnership with UNICEF, which will help us to continue our mission to mobilize and engage with local communities to bring economic growth and improve lives in Afghanistan, especially children and women.

BRD will provide local community leaders training to adopt Social Behavioral Change (SBC) and Apply Accountability to Affected Population (AAP) approaches in their local communities. One of the goals is to empower communities to actively engage and to discuss life-saving key behaviours and practices focused on child health, nutrition, education and protection.

In Afghanistan, diarrhoeal diseases are the second most common cause of death for children under the age of five. One of the most effective ways to save children’s lives is guaranteeing them clean drinking water and adequate sanitation.

Today we all celebrate the World Water Day! Water and its sustainable management are essential for human health and well-being, poverty eradication, food and energy production, social and economic development. We call for the international community to help Afghanistan to implement SDG6.
