Frontiers in Communication conducted a qualitative study among 37 women across Bangladesh that presents the risk communication factors related to social and financial challenges. It reveals that the majority of the urban communities lack communication with local authorities, where urban low-income communities are the worst sufferers. Due to that, the majority of the urban participants could not get financial support, whereas the rural participants received such support for having communications with local authorities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A New Guidance for RCCE Coordination in Public Health Emergencies

November 14, 2022/in Clinical/Technical Guidance, Strategies RCCE Collective Service Global English Risk Communication and Messaging Response Organizations, SBC Professionals/by Shane Harper

National governments are responsible for implementing Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) as a key pillar of their respective public health response, as articulated in the International Health Regulations (2005). However, civil society at all levels, together with a multitude of others including the media and private sector, should (and often do) also support the government and its partners to fulfil this responsibility.

This guidance document designed by the Collective Service provides ways to ensure predictable, sustainable and well-functioning RCCE coordination platforms, strategies and approaches that work with the government and partners, at national, state and local levels.
