Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Family welfare programs are essential for ensuring the well-being of families, particularly in rural and conflict-affected areas such as Dikwa LGA, Borno State. These programs address critical issues, including maternal and child health, nutrition, education, and economic empowerment. However, limited awareness and cultural misconceptions often hinder their acceptance and effectiveness. Public Relations (PR) plays a vital role in bridging this gap by creating strategic communication campaigns to inform and engage communities about the benefits of family welfare programs.
Recent studies emphasize that PR strategies, such as grassroots mobilization, targeted messaging, and media advocacy, can enhance the reach and impact of welfare programs (Adamu & Yusuf, 2024). This study explores how PR can effectively promote family welfare programs in Dikwa LGA.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite the availability of family welfare programs in Dikwa LGA, their adoption and impact remain limited due to low awareness, cultural resistance, and inadequate communication strategies. The lack of robust PR initiatives further compounds this issue, leaving many families unaware of available resources. This study examines how PR strategies can address these challenges and promote family welfare programs effectively.
