This side event will bring together specialists from different industries and explore ways in which SBC principles have applied to their enterprises through core business functions such as operations, product-focused design and workforce development. Rather than the focus of the session being on UNICEF's work, the conversation will revolve around how each company has used social/ behavioural sciences and strategies to expand their businesses' reach and potentially contribute to social change. Furthermore, this innovation-led exchange can lead to new approaches to strategy design, resource mobilisation and management for Programmes. How is it relevant to policy development? Discussions will be focused on analysing the private sector's pre-existing integration of SBC approaches and strategies through product design, delivery and evaluation. Lessons learnt through this exchange can be used to influence how UNICEF devises and disseminates health services and products, as well as provide a new edge to approaching policy development and get individuals to think of SBC as a powerful tool that is already being used by the most successful businesses and that can also generate partnerships to contribute to significantly to social impacts. 

Light snacks will be provided.
