Purpose of Project and Background
The RCCE Collective Service is a collaborative partnership between the IFRC, UNICEF, WHO with support from the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN), and key stakeholders from the public health and humanitarian sectors. The Collective Service aims to deliver the structures and mechanisms required for a coordinated community-centred approach that is embedded across public health, humanitarian, and development response efforts. This will ensure expert driven, collaborative, consistent and localised RCCE support reaches governments and partners involved in the national response to COVID-19 and beyond.
With the massive effort to tackle COVID-19 pandemic and recently the rolling out of the new vaccines, partners collect data and develop materials including dedicated dashboard and research publication to share insight on RCCE. This fragmentation of data collection effort makes it harder for partners to compile, compare and conduct an overall analyse across all dimensions and at different level along the pandemic.
The RCCE Collective Service requires a multi-dimensional database on risk communication, social behaviour, socio-economic impacts related to COVID-19 and to support social science research and coordination at the global and regional level.
It will provide a set of indicator databases on situation analysis and activity monitoring provided by partners reports, community feedback datasets, community-based survey results or dedicated studies developed across the RCCE Community.
