Currently, MAGENTA is working on a project to design and implement a SBC Strategy with a gender perspective to promote the consumption of biofortified beans and the hygienic management of milk in Honduras.
Project Context
MAGENTA is carrying out an SBC project in order to promote girls and boys to accept and consume the biofortified beans that are part of the school feeding basket in Honduras.
In addition, it seeks to promote healthy practices in the handling of pasteurized milk in the educational centers of the municipalities where the current project is carried out.
El fomento del consumo de frijoles biofortificados puede prevenir deficiencias nutricionales y contribuir a un crecimiento saludable, especialmente en niños y mujeres embarazadas. Asimismo, la manipulación adecuada e higiene de los productos lácteos, incluida la leche pasteurizada, resulta crucial para prevenir enfermedades transmitidas por alimentos. Un proyecto que promueva prácticas seguras de manipulación y consumo puede contribuir a reducir la incidencia de enfermedades asociadas con alimentos contaminados.
Para la promoción de ambos comportamientos, MAGENTA busca crear una campaña de comunicación multiformato de aproximadamente 8 semanas de implementación que aborde directamente los determinantes de los dos comportamientos señalados (consumo del frijol biofortificado y manejo higiénico de la leche).
MAGENTA busca una agencia creativa para la realización de la campaña. A continuación, se especifican las actividades y entregables correspondientes.
