HEALTH at the WHAT WORKS? SBCC Summit

5 comments

This is the space for dialogue and debate on some of the HEALTH focused presentations at the WHAT WORKS? SBCC Summit. Whether you are attending the Summit or not please do submit questions and share inisghts and ideas. When we have the presentations for each of the sessions that follows we will post those. With many thanks for engaging - very much appreciated.

Comments

The objective of the panel is to discuss the way in which emerging ideas from the fields of behavioural insights, cultural anthropology and risk communication can combine with approaches of community engagement and social mobilization to more effectively respond to novel and recurring health outbreaks.Presenters will explore how these combined methods could be applied to future outbreaks

Panelists will present different perspectives from their disciplines as applied to disease eradication, halting transmission or preventing a health outbreak. They will unite around the potential to apply these lessons to the current and future: that an integrated, multi-disciplinary approach that puts people at the centre will control and even help prevent the next epidemic. Panelists will argue that other public health initiatives can learn from experiences of polio, Ebola, cholera now. Given the large number of health outbreaks that the world is witnessing on a yearly basis linked to a range of factors including improved surveillance, movement of people, animal and goods, population dynamics, climate change among others, communication science will be called upon more based on experience of polio, Ebola, and other outbreaks. Dialogue is encouraged around the diverse strands of SBCC and demonstrate their complementarity. The panel will demonstrate practical ways to improve how we work in the field, use latest thinking, whilst maintaining adaptability, responsiveness to local insights and iterative design.

A WHO-led partnership (WHO, UNFPA, UNICEF, USAID, NORAD, NIH, and the Norwegian Institute of Public Health) has been working to improve the building, reporting, assessment, and application of the evidence base for complex health interventions, including social, behavioural, and community engagement (SBCE) interventions for maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH), in order to better assess their contributions to the health and development agenda and to provide policymakers the information needed to ensure their uptake.

This panel will present the processes, results, connections, and how they contribute to strengthening the evidence-base and use of evidence in this field as well as discuss uptake, and further efforts needed.
