“As practitioners, we have to move BCC beyond campaigns. It must be embedded into systems, measured for impact, and shaped by the communities it serves”- Shreya Ralli, Director - Communications At the Behaviour Change Communication (BCC) Summit 2025, hosted by the Centre for Social and Behaviour Change (CSBC) in New Delhi, American India Foundation Trust's Technical Advisory Group member, Shreya Ralli, joined the panel “Improving Public Health and #Nutrition through Behaviourally Informed Messaging.” Drawing on over a decade of AIF’s work in maternal and newborn #health through the #MANSI program, she shared how dignity-centred, trust-based, and locally rooted communication can dismantle misinformation, shift entrenched norms, and strengthen uptake of life-saving services. Global evidence reinforces this approach. Targeted BCC interventions have been shown to significantly improve #maternalhealth behaviors and service utilization, with interpersonal outreach by frontline workers outperforming mass media in reaching communities most in need. For AIF, #BCC is not an adjunct to program delivery. It is a strategic lever embedded in every stage of intervention design and implementation. From challenging myths around institutional delivery to equipping frontline health workers with culturally resonant narratives, our approach is grounded in responsiveness, co-creation, and sustained community engagement. It is this integration of evidence, systems thinking, and lived realities that enables real, measurable change. We thank CSBC for convening this important dialogue and for amplifying the role of behaviorally informed communication in advancing public health outcomes. #HealthEquity #PublicHealth #DevelopmentCommunication Kavita Srivastava

In a move to enhance transparency and accountability in the cooperative banking ecosystem, the Reserve Bank of India has extended the Integrated Ombudsman Scheme (RB-IOS, 2021) to include State and Central Co-operative Banks, effective November 1, 2025. This step ensures that customers of cooperative banks now have access to the same unified grievance redressal framework available to commercial banks, NBFCs, and other regulated entities. ✅ More inclusivity ✅ Stronger consumer protection ✅ Streamlined complaint resolution #RBI #Ombudsman #BankingRegulation #CooperativeBanks #FinancialInclusion #CustomerProtection #Enterslice #RegulatoryUpdate #enterslice

Can India Lead the Next Wave? The social sector is shifting from funding activities → to funding results. Two powerful models driving this change are: 🔹 Development Impact Bonds (DIBs) Outcome payer: Donors/Foundations Example: Educate Girls DIB in Rajasthan (UBS Optimus Foundation + CIFF) tied funding to enrollment & learning outcomes for girls. Best suited for: education, health, skilling, women empowerment in India. 🔹 Social Impact Bonds (SIBs) Outcome payer: Government Example: Peterborough Prison SIB in the UK reduced reoffending rates, government paid back only when outcomes were achieved. Best suited for: Skill India, Ayushman Bharat, Smart Cities, Swachh Bharat where policy alignment is critical. ✅ How they work (both models): Investors put in upfront capital. NGOs/service providers deliver programs. Independent evaluators verify outcomes. Outcome funders (donor or govt.) repay investors only if results are achieved. 🚀 India’s Opportunity DIBs can expand quickly with philanthropy & CSR backing (less red tape). SIBs need stronger government adoption but could transform flagship schemes by making them truly pay-for-success. 📌 The big shift: From charity to accountability, from inputs to outcomes, from projects to systems change. 👉 Question for you: Which model—DIBs or SIBs—do you think has greater potential to transform India’s social sector? #SocialImpact #ImpactInvesting #Innovation #ESG #India
