Given the recent growth and increased interest in the field of social norms among researchers and practitioners, it is critical to make the latest evidence and knowledge on it easily accessible. This learning collaborative aims to provide a meaningful space and ample opportunities for practitioners and researchers from different disciplines and sectors to share and produce knowledge. Social norms expertise currently rests in a small group of global “experts,” which is inadequate to meet the demand for assistance to guide social norms practice and research. This learning network will support effective programming that addresses the norms that influence critical health and development issues by strengthening social norms expertise at the implementation level, where it matters most.

The webinar is the launch event of the South Asia Social Norms Learning Collaborative, officially inviting participation from interested organizations and people working or wanting to work with social norms in South Asia.
