For over 50 years, The Manoff Group, Inc. (TMG), a woman-owned small business, has been an international leader in designing and assisting the implementation of social and behavior change programs that effectively promote healthy behaviors and allow populations to enjoy an improved quality of life. TMG’s innovative behavior-centered programming approach, Behavior Integration, offers a practical methodology for realizing measurable and sustained behavior change at the individual, community and organizational levels. Our methodology is based on human-centered design principles and employs techniques from disciplines such as anthropology, behavioral economics, psychology, marketing and communications to strategically build programs that enable people to practice life–enhancing behaviors. All project work is carried out in the spirit of collaborative learning and co-creation.
The USAID Family Health and Nutrition project is a new, 5-year effort funded by USAID to deliver high-impact technical assistance (TA) to the Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ)- led Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health and Nutrition (RMNCAH&N) Continuum of Care (CoC) Program in ways that will sustainably improve health systems performance and accelerate improvements in health outcomes.
TMG provides technical leadership and capacity development assistance on this effort, across all results areas on the strategic use of Behavior Integration to facilitate prioritization, adoption and sustainability of critical reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health and nutrition (RMNCAH&N) practices. This process will encompass consideration and identification of individual, community and provider-level behaviors, and will ensure alignment, efficiency and cohesion across all technical areas and work streams of the project. In addition, TMG will work with and through consortium and locally identified partners to build organizational capacity of external stakeholders in the use of Behavior Integration to address key development challenges.
The Behavior Integration Advisor will serve as the technical lead and main TMG representative to the project in Zambia. He or she will lead design and oversee implementation of demand creation and uptake of high-impact interventions, ensuring coherence and alignment among all project activities, and supporting the highest level of quality in execution of capacity building/transfer and any direct implementation. The Advisor will work as part of the project’s core multi-disciplinary team and will report to the project’s Technical Director/Team Lead: Objective 1.
