Audiopedia is an open ecosystem of localized digital audio contents and technologies for social and behavior change communication (SBCC) Campaigns.

Health and nutrition education programmes tend to engage women, because of their perceived traditional roles as primary care givers. Yet, 500 million women worldwide are illiterate. There is a strong need for a robust and scalable approach which does not rely on the written word to provide knowledge to marginalized populations. Audiopedia is tackling this challenge.

Currently, Audiopedia covers the following topics: COVID, WASH, Women’s Health, Substance Abuse, Nutrition, Sexually Transmitted Infections, Pregnancy and Childbirth, Breastfeeding, Growing Older, HIV and AIDS, Disabilities, Infertility, Problems of the Urinary System, Cancer, Mental Health, Pneumonia and Tuberculosis, Malaria, Violence against Women, Abortion, Sexual Violence, Family Planning, Family Planning Natural and Permanent Methods, Child Injury Prevention, Child Health, Advice for Girls, Suicide Prevention, Family Conflicts and Safety at Work.

Audiopedia is a global online project combining relevant and localized SBCC audio contents with easily usable hard- and software. The web site Audiopedia.io was designed to provide access to open knowledge to both CBOs/NGOs and individuals. CBOs/NGOs can benefit by using it as part of their SBCC strategy, as it enables them to search, download, embed and share audio files in several languages.

Audiopedia.IO is a mobile-friendly website providing expert health education and life skills for women using audio. CBOs/NGOs can benefit by using Audiopedia.io as part of their SBCC strategy, as it enables them to search, download, embed and share audio files.
