A #mascot can "do wonders" in Social Behaviour Change Communication.

Lali - a fun, relatable mascot- was introduced by @NutritionIntl to bust the myths and misconceptions against the Double Fortified Salt (DFS) product.

A twitter thread 🧵 Lali character was designed collaboratively by community members during strategy development for promotion & adoption of Vanya Plus Double Fortified Salt (DFS) Project in #MadhyaPradesh.

This proved to be an effective mitigation strategy.
