The Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs (CCP) invites graphic design firms and qualified individuals to submit proposals to provide graphic design services in support of CCP’s programs. Multiple contracts may be awarded under this request for proposals (RFP).
Background:
The Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs (CCP) was established more than 30 years ago in recognition of the pivotal role communication plays in the way people think about and behave around health and development issues. As a Center within the Department of Health, Behavior and Society at the Bloomberg School of Public Health, CCP now has a staff of more than 600 in the field and in its Baltimore headquarters. CCP has active programs in more than 30 countries worldwide as well as in the U.S. Since 1988, our programs have reached more than 1 billion people. CCP’s target audiences are international with a focus on low- and middle-income countries in Africa and Asia. Depending on the project, the approach to changing behaviors and improving health is directed to in-country governments, health centers, communities, and/or the individual.
CCP is a recognized leader in the field of health communication, with extensive technical expertise and program experience in:
• Social and Behavior Change Communication (SBCC)
