Details

Mission and objectives

The UNICEF Office of Emergency Programmes coordinates the organization’s global support for humanitarian action, including through a security team and the 24/7 Operations Centre (OPSCEN), OPSCEN monitors humanitarian crises, political events and security-related incidents around the world with a view to ensuring the safety of staff and providing both field offices and senior decision-makers with critical information related to humanitarian emergencies. At UNICEF, we place people – men, women, families, children, adolescents – at the center of our work. To make sure our work is truly people-centered, we are committed to embedding Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP) in everything we do.

Context

The Collective Service is an inter-agency partnership launched in June 2020, between the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), and the World Health Organization (WHO), which leverages active support from the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN), and key stakeholders from the public health and humanitarian sectors. The RCCE Data for Action Handbook is a document that has been recently produced to provide an outline description of the processes involved in the use of data for risk communication and community engagement (RCCE) for COVID-19 and to provide links to useful resources. The handbook will be of interest to governments, United Nations, NGOs, civil society, academic institutions, and community actors. It can also be used for regional and global RCCE. While the handbook has been written specifically for the response to COVID-19 it is hoped that it will be useful for responses to other emergency situations. This assignment contributes to SDG 3: Good Health and Wellbeing.
