Testimonials

Sergio Esteban Méndez Castañeda, Swisscontact

Sergio Esteban Méndez Castañeda, Swisscontact

I really appreciate the materials shared, as well as the presentations with project examples. They will undoubtedly be very useful to deepen what was learned and explore possible practical applications. It was a real pleasure to learn and share ideas with all the participants, and your guidance made the experience even more enriching (About the RanasFOCUS course).

Halia Mocala, Solidar Suisse

In our humanitarian program, the RANAS methodology has allowed us to deeply understand the context, challenges, fears and strengths of the communities where we work. With this knowledge, active support and ownership of key stakeholders, we have seen improvements in the target behaviors.

Annecilia Alcindor, SFE Laos

The RANAS method has enabled our team to take a more holistic and in-depth approach to behaviour change, resulting in a more tangible and lasting impact on communities. Our team will be able to continue explore and use what they have learned for future work in both rural communities and health services.

Dr. Charles Niwagaba, Makerere University

I really like the RANAS approach, because it presents a systematic way of engaging with communities, inquiring from them, about their behaviours, and also visualising these behaviours. It brings up open discussions.

Anne Babb, International Blue Cross

The RANAS Behavior Change Model opened my eyes further to name and categorize different behavioral factors, behavioral outcomes and contextual factors as a new insight that truly enhances our approach on behavior change at prevention activities and in recovery support. I am very inspired to learn more about this model and wish to share the learning with Blue Crosses worldwide.
