People also use different varieties of the same language or create their own variety.
The way a language develops in a multilingual group reflects what people need and want to communicate.167weinreichThe WISER framework of behavioural change interventions for mindful human flourishing14843962023-09-07T22:39:39ZZTo do so, we propose a framework, which rearranges
the 17 SDGs into five main categories to which concepts
from behavioural and social scientists can relate:
wellbeing, inclusivity, sufficiency, empowerment,
and resilience (WISER; panel). The WISER framework
can enable behavioural scientists to both design their
interventions in a way that encompasses several
SDGs, and to more clearly report and review how their
interventions contribute to behavioural change towards
SDGs, thus enhancing progress towards planetary health167weinreichChatbots in humanitarian contexts - IFRC Community Engagement Hub14843752023-09-07T22:05:09ZZSince the mid-2010s, chatbots have grown in usage and popularity across the humanitarian sector. While this usage has gained traction, there is scarce information on the collective successes, risks, and trade-offs of this automation. This research addresses this gap, documenting chatbot deployments across the humanitarian sector and exploring the existing uses, benefits, trade-offs and challenges of using chatbots in humanitarian contexts.

As we are making commitments to decolonization in practice, it is important that we do not forget the role of language and communications in the context of inequality. The Inclusive Language Guide is a resource to support people in our sector who have to communicate in English to think about how the way they write can subvert or inadvertently reinforce intersecting forms of inequality that we work to end. The language recommended is drawn from specialist organizations which provide advice on language preferred by marginalized people, groups and communities, and by our own staff and networks, to support us to make choices that respectfully reflect the way they wish to be referred to. We want to support everyone to feel empowered to be inclusive in their work, because equality isn’t equality if it isn’t for everyone.167weinreichIndiKit - Guidance on SMART Indicators for Relief and Development Projects | IndiKit13709562023-02-28T08:03:33ZZ167weinreichThe People of Traditional Markets EatSafe's Story Sourcing in Hawassa, Ethiopia12947952023-01-09T10:33:14ZZEvidence and Action Towards Safe and Nutritious Food (EatSafe) is looking to positively impact behavior around food safety practices in traditional markets around the world.

The agency, after spending over a year talking to nearly 100 of its members, learned two main things (1).
-First, guerrilla members are ordinary men and women and not only guerrillas, a fact which is often forgotten after 60 years at war.
-Secondly, they are more likely to demobilize during Christmas as it is a sensitive and emotional period.
Based on these insights, they had a clever idea to put a Christmas tree in strategic walking paths in the middle of the jungle that would light up when someone passed by with a message promoting demobilization.
The results? Three hundred thirty-one people who demobilized named this idea as one of the reasons to do so.
Over the years, several campaigns from the same agency were quite successful, and overall, they were named in over 800 demobilizations. Causality, of course, cannot be established. Nevertheless, any measurable, non-violent efforts like this one are praised.

There is little information available on the languages crisis-affected people speak and understand. Humanitarians often develop communication strategies without reliable data on literacy, languages spoken, or preferred means of communication. The result too often is that crisis-affected people struggle to communicate with humanitarian organizations in a language they understand. Women, children, older people, and people with disabilities are often at the greatest disadvantage because they are less likely to understand international languages and lingua francas.
TWB’s Language Data Initiative addresses those issues and provides important resources for humanitarians. It supports humanitarian organizations to develop language-informed programs and communication strategies.

So, we hit the reset button and asked ourselves these four questions before crafting our internal communications strategy:
What do we want to change? What do we want to be true that isn’t true right now?
Whose behavior change is necessary to making that happen? Who has to do something (or stop doing something) they’re not doing now for us to achieve that goal? (This is about targeting a narrowly defined audience whose action or behavioral change is fundamental to your goal.)
What would that individual or group believe if they took that action? In other words, what does that narrowly defined audience care about most, and how can we include that in our messages?
How will we get that message in front of them?

the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (BBBP) have successfully employed behavioural
insights. Using such learning, the chapter lays out an ambitious agenda for
social change: (i) from BBBP to BADLAV (Beti Aapki Dhan Lakshmi Aur Vijay
Lakshmi); (ii) from Swachh Bharat to Sundar Bharat; (iii) from “Give it up” for
the LPG subsidy to “Think about the Subsidy”; and (iv) from tax evasion to tax
compliance. First, a key principle of behavioural economics is that while people’s
behaviour is influenced significantly by social norms, understanding the drivers of
these social norms can enable change. In India, where social and religious norms
play such a dominant role in influencing behaviour, behavioural economics can
therefore provide a valuable instrument for change. So, beneficial social norms
can be furthered by drawing attention to positive influencers, especially friends/
neighbours that represent role models with which people can identify. Second,
as people are given to tremendous inertia when making a choice, they prefer
sticking to the default option. By the nearly costless act of changing the default
to overcome this inertia, desired behaviour can be encouraged without affecting
people’s choices. Third, as people find it difficult to sustain good habits, repeated
reinforcements and reminders of successful past actions can help sustain changed
behaviour167weinreichThese Diagrams Reveal How To Negotiate With People Around The World - Communication Charts Around The World - Business Insider2533212019-06-10T20:20:50ZZ167weinreichBEHAVIORAL SCIENCE AROUND THE WORLD Profiles of 10 Countries2452292019-05-02T20:23:37ZZThis report aims to capture both the spread and form of behavioral
