SBCC for Emergency Preparedness Implementation Kit
/in Strategies, Toolkit, Web Resources Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs, United States Agency for International Development Global English, Português COVID-19 Response, Risk Communication and Messaging Response Organizations, SBC Professionals/by Kathryn SuggThe purpose of this I-Kit is to provide a set of key considerations for SBCC activities in emergency situations.
This I-Kit provides essential information and tools for responding to an outbreak using an SBCC approach. It presents a series of nine units, each accompanied by exercise worksheets to help link the SBCC theory to practice.
Each unit builds on the one prior, and they all combine to provide key information for developing an SBCC strategy. It is not essential, however, to work through the I-Kit from start to finish. Users can choose to focus on specific aspects for which they need support in their emergency communication response. The nine units and corresponding worksheets are outlined in the I-Kit Site Navigator.
The worksheets in each section are typically followed by a completed example. The completed examples will likely include information about an emergency that, during an actual event, might not be immediately available. This was done to illustrate the full range of information to inform a strategic communication response.
This kit is also available in Portuguese.

How to Tackle Coronavirus in Slums
/in Technical Briefs Global Dashboard Global English Social/Physical Distancing, Vulnerable Populations Policy Makers, Response Organizations/by Kathryn SuggFor the large number of low-income country residents who live in informal settlements, or slums, will be ill-served by well-publicized measures that rely on the stockpiling of food, the availability of savings, the ability to work from home, and the need to keep your distance even from close relatives.
In these environments, staying at home can itself be a risk. Cramped, often poorly-ventilated dwellings housing large numbers of people are potential petri dishes for COVID-19. Queuing to use shared toilets or draw water from wells or boreholes, using crowded public transport, or simply walking past others in narrow lanes heighten the risk of exposure.
This guidance document offers eight ideas for adapting prevention standards to slums and informal settlements.

Prevent, Detect, Respond: How Community Health Workers can Help in the Fight against COVID-19
/in Reports and Studies British Medical Journal Africa English Risk Communication and Messaging Response Organizations/by Cynthia IrakozeIn previous epidemics, rapidly expanding healthcare teams through community health workers (CHWs) has proven to be fundamental to an effective response.

How to Develop a Communication Strategy (JHU CCP)
/in Strategies Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs, United States Agency for International Development Global English Risk Communication and Messaging Multiple, SBC Professionals/by Cynthia IrakozeA communication strategy is the critical piece bridging the situation analysis and the implementation of a social and behavior change communication (SBCC) program. It is a written plan that details how an SBCC program will reach its vision, given the current situation. Effective communication strategies use a systematic process and behavioral theory to design and implement communication activities that encourage sustainable social and behavior change.
Most communication strategies include the following elements:
- Brief summary of the situation analysis
- Audience segmentation
- Program theory to inform strategy development
- Communication objectives
- Approaches for achieving objectives
- Positioning for the desired change
- Benefits and messages to encourage desired change
- Communication channels to disseminate messages
- Implementation plan
- Monitoring and evaluation plan
- Budgets
