The Zambia Communications Support for Health (CSH) program, implemented by USAID and Chemonics International, produced a series of social and behavior change communications interventions under its Safe Love HIV Prevention campaign to address the key drivers of HIV prevalence.
Between 2010 and 2014, the USAID-funded and Chemonics-implemented Zambia Communications Support for Health (CSH) program carried out a series of social and behavior change communications interventions under its Safe Love HIV Prevention campaign to address the key drivers of HIV prevalence. Safe Love was a national multi-channel campaign for men and women age 15-49 that included TV and radio drama series, TV and radio advertisements, social media, and interpersonal community-based activities. The demand for evidence led CSH to conduct a rigorous outcome evaluation of the Safe Love campaign. The evaluation was designed to assess the effects of the campaign on HIV prevention behaviors and secondary behavioral determinants.
