SUPPORT TO FCHV
FCHV Planning with multi-sectoral staff
• FCHVs play the leading role for message dissemination
• Interactive miking, magic shows, parades and theater performances and town criers are used
• Schools, police, local business groups, women’s groups, community leaders are mobilized
• Broadcast of vitamin A messages on radio and TV complements these promotion activities

MotivationMotivation is defined as the driving force behind our desire for something. It could either results from our desire for something that is internally driven (Intrinsic) or it could result from our desire for something outside (External Driven) of us.
TRUST
Motivation is Not Static but it is Dynamic in nature
