The CBT project is being implemented by UNICEF- Orissa in 12 blocks of Koraput district to bring about behaviour change among the communities with respect to a few social indicators. The project aims at facilitating the formation of local performance groups at the village level and to capacitate local talent to reinforce developmental and social issues in their communities by using their folk culture. The primary geographical focus of CBT project is on media dark areas where awareness on hygiene practices, importance of girl child education, HIV/AIDs and infant care is limited. 
The four thematic messages being communicated by the CBT project are-
Exclusive breastfeeding, 
Hand washing with soap, 
Girls education and 
HIV prevention in young adults.
Over the period of two years around 400 CBTs have been formed and trained on the concept of CBTs and use of folk theatre for communicating social messages. The rationale behind the assessment is to evaluate the utility of CBTs, their approach and its impact on community
