NudgeKit
Behavior Change Techniques for Development Practice
200+ evidence-based techniques for development practitioners, contextualized for South Asian BCC interventions across health, education, livelihoods, WASH, gender, and governance.
Built on the BCT Taxonomy v1 (Michie et al., 2013). Inspired by AIM for Behavior.
About this repository: This free resource adapts the BCT Taxonomy v1 (93 techniques) and extends it with 100+ additional techniques relevant to South Asian development practice. Techniques are tagged by sector, evidence level, and include practical examples. Use freely for program design, proposal writing, M&E frameworks, and BCC strategy development.
How to Use NudgeKit
Three ways to apply behavior change techniques in your work.
Program Design
Search by sector (Health, WASH, Education) or evidence level to find techniques suited for your intervention context.
- Filter by your sector to see relevant techniques
- Prioritize techniques with "Strong Evidence" ratings
- Read the practical examples for implementation ideas
- Combine complementary techniques for multi-component interventions
Proposal Writing
Reference BCT taxonomy IDs and evidence ratings to strengthen the theory of change in your funding proposals.
- Use the technique ID (e.g., BCT 1.1) for precise citations
- Copy technique definitions directly into your proposal
- Link techniques to your Theory of Change pathways
- Export selected techniques as CSV for documentation
M&E Frameworks
Map techniques to measurable outcomes and build monitoring indicators for behavior change interventions.
- Identify techniques used in each program activity
- Define process indicators linked to each technique
- Track fidelity of implementation against the BCT definitions
- Use category groupings for structured reporting
