We are in the process of implementing a prevention package in the province of Ituri in the east of the Republic Democratic Republic of the Congo with the Nutrition approach in Assisi community. In this project, we planned to implement the positive deviance approach in some health areas. Thus, I am kindly asking if you can support us in terms of:
- Documentation for the implementation of the positive deviance approach
- Online coaching sessions on Zoom to explain to me how it works in practice, if possible.

Thank you.

Hello Emma,

For successful implementation, the different stages must be respected: 1) advocacy at the central level

2) mobilization/advocacy with communities

3) mobilization at the community level involving authorities and community leaders

4) the choice of Light Moms on the basis of well-defined criteria

5) the training of LMs and community relays on

the intervention package

6) Set up information collection media

7) Determine a mechanism for feedback

8) Establish a monitoring and evaluation plan
