As COVID-19 vaccination programmes enter their third year, existing challenges to programmes combine with new needs, complexities, and hesitancies. Vaccination programmes require innovative solutions to scale up COVID-19 vaccination efforts, from administering booster doses to reaching those who have yet to receive their first COVID-19 vaccination. This synthesis presents an overview of the vaccination context in three Eastern and Southern Africa Region countries.

This brief is a rapid synthesis of socio-behavioural evidence relating to the 2022 cholera outbreak in Malawi intended for national and international response partners. It focuses on interpreting this evidence to inform the design and delivery of effective communication and engagement strategies putting communities at the centre of the response. 

The goal of the Ministry of Health and Social Services is to ensure the success of the vaccination rollout program which relies on individuals’ acceptance of the vaccines.
With support from the Collective Service the Government will strengthen CFMs in Khomas, Kunene, Omusati, Ohangwena and Kavango West regions , understanding the types of types , data collection processes, use of standardised tools, establish technical committees responsible for data coding, analysis and production of CFM dashboards and ensuring translation of feedback into action is prioritised.

The Collective Service has developed a Data Handbook for Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) for promoting the use of data for RCCE in humanitarian or public health emergency responses.

The consultant will support the IOM Indonesia team with the development and testing of a comprehensive Risk Communication & Community Engagement package targeting Rohingya refugees arriving in Indonesia. The RCCE package will be tailored to the target audience in terms of language, gender and age-appropriateness, and cultural sensitivity, as well as media and activities used for the delivery. The materials will take into account mental health, psycho-social well-being, and protection considerations to avoid creating any harm when delivering the information to Rohingya refugees and the host communities in Indonesia.
