Risk Communication & Community Engagement
This category addresses content collected in support of a RCCE plan. Details of the planning process can be found within the WHO RCCE Action Plan Guidance.
What is relevant to the Covid-19 Library is the collection of IEC materials that support the planning process. Materials that fall within this category provide relevant information, education and communication (IEC) materials tailored for and pre-tested with representatives of audiences for whom they are intended. Pre-testing messages and materials with target audiences ensures that messages are context specific and increases ownership from communities and at-risk populations and other stakeholders.
As much as possible IEC materials should contain actions that people can take:
- an instruction to follow
- a behaviour to adopt
- information you can share with friends and family
