About
From a Risk Communication and Community Engagement Collective Service brochure:[1]
- The Collective Service is a collaborative partnership between the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), and the World Health Organization (WHO), which leverages active support from the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN), and key stakeholders from public health and humanitarian sectors. It was launched in June 2020, after endorsement by the Inter-Agency Standing Committee Principals in April 2020, and with support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The aim of the Service is to ensure that the complementary strengths of all partners are supported and leveraged to deliver the greatest impact, and to bring together a wide range of organisations involved in RCCE policy, practice and research to provide practical support to those delivering on the ground.

- From the start of the COVID-19 crisis, RCCE has been recognized as a central pillar of the response, essential to the successful delivery of both medical and non-medical interventions. Encompassing everything from behaviour change to countering misinformation and supporting community leadership, RCCE is a cross cutting priority that requires a broad range of humanitarian and public health partners to work together with governments, and affected communities.
- As the world tackles the upcoming demands of the ongoing crisis, including the rollout of an unprecedented global immunization campaign, RCCE is essential to success.
