The Collective Helpdesk’s newest contributing organization, the READY initiative has an open application for an exciting RCCE training in Ethiopia. With support from USAID’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance, the READY initiative is now offering a Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) Outbreak Readiness Training on January 31 – February 3, 2023, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. There is no fee to attend this training and a certificate is provided upon completion. Please read below and see the attached information on this exciting training opportunity.

Thematic content will include social and behavior change in outbreaks; data collection and analysis; community-led community engagement; managing uncertainty and rumors; readiness actions that include planning for RCCE before an outbreak begins, and more.
