Risk Communication and Community Engagement During COVID-19 (Advanced)

This is a free interactive online module. You will learn about risk communication and community engagement, and how to apply this approach.

What does the course cover?

The 3-hour advanced module explores best practice for Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing on examples from the MENA region, this module considers contextual particularities of the region and focuses on the steps and considerations required to plan and deliver effective RCCE in the region. It offers practical solutions that organisations and individuals can implement.
