The Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs (CCP) - Our mission is to inspire and empower people around the world to make healthy choices for themselves and their families. 

CCP will be implementing the USAID Breakthrough-ACTION-Nigeria project that will use state-of-the-art, evidence-based tools to encourage people in developing countries to adopt healthy behaviours.

Much of the work will harness the power of communication – from mass media campaigns to TV and radio dramas to simple posters in a health clinic – to inspire long-lasting change.

The project will also take advantage of other behavioural science approaches such as behavioural economics and human-centred design to improve programs.
