CEA and Health
Before, during and after a health emergency, it is essential to provide people with trusted, clear and effective information. Engaging with communities can help to prevent fear, panic and rumours from undermining response efforts. Actively involving communities in the design, delivery, and evaluation of health interventions helps ensure that services are relevant, inclusive, and responsive to diverse needs. Accountability mechanisms, including clear information sharing and accessible feedback channels, enable people to influence decisions that affect their health and well-being.
