Advancing Understanding
The Passages Project helped advance understanding of the importance of social norms and norms-shifting interventions. Central to this work was fostering a better understanding of social norms and their role in behavior-change programming and expanding this understanding into sectors beyond health, where social norms often receive less attention.
Passages was a founder and steering member of the Social Norms Learning Collaborative, a global community seeking evidence and best practices for social norms research and implementation. With the Learning Collaborative and in our project-specific work, we worked to harmonize social norms language, identifying influential social norms across sectors, and advancing understanding of how to effect impactful and ethical normative change.

The Passages Social Norms Across Sectors Activity
This activity, undertaken with support from the USAID Office of Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment, or GenDev, examines why social norms matter in different arenas—and how they can change. It provides insight into social norms across sectors, including a landscaping of approaches, three case studies, a rapid desk review of social norms approaches within selected health areas, and an evidence slide deck for approaches related to women’s economic empowerment and intimate partner violence. These resources provide evidence and recommendations for best practices, lessons learned, and insights for new programs with a social norms-shifting component.
