This book provides readers with a critical, conceptual and applied
understanding of the role of communication and community engagement
for disease outbreak preparedness and response. Until the WHO
declared COVID-19 a pandemic on March 11, 2020, for several years
public health authorities and influential voices in the
international public health community have warned of a pandemic and
therefore a need to strengthen governments and communities' ability
to prevent and respond to it effectively to minimize its impact on
lives and economies. While investments have focused on clinical,
diagnostic, and vaccine research, preventing and minimizing the
impact of disease outbreaks requires a wider socio-ecological
systems approach that places communities at the centre of the
response. Such an approach is still rare in public health practice.
One of the key lessons that the authors have learned, and on which
they reflect in the chapters, is that technical inputs will be as
effective as they are fully integrated within the broader
architecture of disease outbreak preparedness and response. The ten
chapters of this contributed volume are organized under three
parts: a conceptual framework, case studies, and recommendations.
Communication and Community Engagement in Disease Outbreaks is a
timely and essential resource for public health managers, donors,
implementers, organizations engaged in disease prevention and
control and academics called on to support the response. These
audiences should benefit from this approach as the book highlights
dimensions that are often under-resourced.
