Noveena Swapnabh

I’m a strategic communication and knowledge management professional with over 15 years of experience translating complex public health and development challenges into compelling narratives that inform, influence, and inspire. My most recent role was with FHI 360 (until March 2025), where I worked across the EpiC and Alive & Thrive initiatives. I led the design and execution of behavior change communication strategies for noncommunicable diseases, mental health, and aging populations living with HIV. I also developed national advocacy campaigns, strengthened donor engagement, and managed cross-platform content strategies that elevated program visibility and stakeholder trust. Previously, I served at organizations including IPE Global, JSI-India, PATH, 3ie, and the World Bank’s IFC. Across these roles, I have designed and implemented communication strategies for flagship public health and nutrition programs, including India’s Immunization Programme, Mission Indradhanush, maternal and child nutrition initiatives, and the POSHAN Abhiyaan. From managing high-impact media outreach and digital campaigns to building knowledge platforms with UNICEF, BMGF, and World Bank, my work has consistently bridged policy, practice, and storytelling. I’ve also partnered closely with ministries like Health, Women & Child Development, and AYUSH, advocating for systemic change and digital innovation in service delivery. A former journalist and producer with NDTV and Network18, I bring a strong editorial lens to all content creation—be it strategic reports, donor communications, digital campaigns, or field stories. I’m passionate about development communication, behavior change, and making health and nutrition equity central to public discourse. Always open to meaningful collaborations, consulting opportunities, and conversations around how communication can drive social impact.
