JOB DETAILS:
Development Media International (DMI) delivers media campaigns aimed at changing behaviours, promoting health and saving lives. We are the first organisation to scientifically demonstrate that mass media can increase life-saving behaviours.
In 2018 DMI published the results of its 5-year, £7m randomised controlled trial in West Africa which showed that 56% more children were taken for treatment for malaria, 73% more for diarrhoea and 39% more for pneumonia following exposure to our campaign. Modelling indicates that over 3000 lives were saved during the campaign and that our approach is one of the most cost-effective ways of saving children’s lives. We work across a range of health issues, including child survival, reproductive health, nutrition, hygiene, and early childhood development.
