This short guide to community engagement at a distance is designed to assist development and humanitarian agencies to think through how risk communication and community engagement (RCCE) activities related to COVID-19 can be carried out without face-to-face interaction with communities. It is intended for communities in Bangladesh and was produced by BBC Media Action on behalf of Shongjog multi-stakeholder platform (MSP), the national platform for Communication with Communities (CwC) in Bangladesh.
The guide seeks to encourage more remote methods of communication so that agencies are able to safeguard the health of their own and their partners' staff and volunteers, while still ensuring that communities receive accurate, up-to-date information, as well as have access to communication channels that allow them to provide feedback and share their concerns and worries.
