About Us

About TfSC

TfSC is an innovative Ghanaian not-for-profit organization that promotes sustainable social and behavior change communication (SBCC) to create positive and healthy attitudinal changes for the desirable wellbeing of people. TfSC empowers people’s attitudinal and behavioral change through interactive theatre by allowing them to examine their own attitudes, practices, socio-cultural environment, and behavior patterns of other people around them. TfSC mobilizes donor and private funding to deliver innovative capacity-building interventions that enhance the knowledge, effectiveness, self-reliance and sustainability of people and communities in Ghana.

TfSC believes that real social change begins with individuals and communities reflecting on their own values, beliefs, and practices to build knowledge and skills to develop confidence and assertiveness to enable them to make informed choices and access services to influence desirable changes.

This belief forms the bedrock of TfSC’s designed innovative interactive theatre methodology with SBCC REACH Model. Its uniqueness rises above most NGOs in Ghana that engage in social behavior change and communication and social development initiatives. The methodology emotionally helps people to rediscover that they already have some experience which is good enough for further exploration to elicit the best solution at low or no cost. It is suitable to

promoting dialogue among all stakeholders on increasing access to multi-sectorial services of health, education, economic livelihood benefits, child protection, human rights, gender equality, and social inclusion
training others on how to identify key barrier issues among the target audience
developing behavior change/advocacy objectives, expected outcomes, and key messages; and
designing innovative action plans for reaching all the identified audiences.

Simply described, TfSC’s innovative interactive theatre can help

disseminate accurate information on services delivery benefits to individuals, families, communities, and districts; and enhance the commitment of key stakeholders (chiefs, queen-mothers, parents, youth leaders, women and girls, boys and men, pastors, imams, and opinion leaders) to act directly or use their influence to expand and improve services uptake in their locality without discrimination.

Our Strategies

Community Engagement

It is the initial process of acquiring relevant knowledge and baseline information on targeted communities’ socio-economic situations, beliefs, practices, and behaviors including gaps to tailor suitable delivery services and interventions for desirable reforms and changes in their own experience.

Behaviour Change Training and Capacity Development Workshops

TfSC empowers and engages people, communities, service providers, and stakeholders in physical and experiential activities and builds their skills, abilities, resources, and confidence to improve their performance, quality of services, and service delivery at individual and group levels. TfSC organizes tailored training and capacity-building workshops for selected community volunteers/change agents with REACH Model, interactive theatre, and technical knowledge skills on various public programs and social issues to do focus-group discussions and peer education for various community engagements before mirroring the issues through drama. Building

Interactive Theatre for Participatory Community and People Empowerment

TfSC develops a dialogue with interested groups such as the targeted audience, parents, opinion leaders and service providers including policymakers to be directly involved to find practical solutions to their issues, concerns, and challenges through theatre performances.

Policy Advocacy

TfSC often organizes communities and public officials on issues related to health, education, livelihood, child protection, human rights, gender equality, and social inclusion as well as cultural norms, beliefs, practices, and attitudes for desirable change.
