This ongoing online training series is designed to strengthen capacity on how to use evidence and data to create strong social and behaviour change communication (SBCC) programmes for malaria prevention and control. According to NetWorks, the presenters are leaders in the field of SBCC (all from the Center for Communication Programs Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health) and cover both fundamental and advanced concepts, along with many examples from recent malaria programmes. "The training courses are given using slides together with audio. Once you begin a course, lecture slides and audio transcripts are also available to download in PDF format." A certificate is given for each module completed. As an online course, learners can move through the modules at their own pace.

Modules include: Theory; Formative Research; Pretesting; Monitoring; and Evaluation
