• W2548653381 abstract "This guide is a compilation of best practices and key lessons learned through Oxfam's experience of community engagement during the 2014 '15 Ebola response in Sierra Leone and Liberia. It aims to inform public health practitioners and programme teams about the design and implementation of community-centred approaches. Key Lessons for Community Engagement in WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) for Ebola response: 1. A sound understanding of the diversity and varied vulnerabilities within affected communities is vital. Resources must be devoted to understanding community perspectives and advocating for community-focused interventions. Specialists, such as anthropologists and epidemiologists, may be required for information to be collected, documented and used effectively. 2. One-size-fits-all models of community engagement are not the best solution. It is better to recognize the potential capabilities of communities in each situation and provide context-specific support. This allows communities to take action to protect themselves using a 'menu' of different strategies, developed using a community-led approach. To do this effectively, key groups (e.g. male and female leaders, traditional healers, religious leaders, older people, youth and children) need to be identified. 3. Advocacy efforts should be directed at promoting inclusive and representative ideas, concerns, questions and solutions of communities, and ensuring that only useful and practical information is given to communities by humanitarian actors. 4. The information given to communities must be prioritized to ensure that the crisis affected population understands and uses the most effective protective actions (e.g., in the case of Ebola, early isolation and referral, and not touching the dead). The uptake and use of these specific actions must be monitored, and rumours about diseases and treatment processes should be documented in order to track progress. 5. It is important to work with others (from all sectors) to increase the transparency of medical and burial processes, especially where there is a lack of understanding and/or trust in the healthcare system. This can include step-by-step guides for referral or burial management, and showing videos to illustrate what to expect. 6. Support, training and supervision for newly recruited staff are vital to ensure responses are community-centred, effective and accountable. 7. Community engagement supports every other aspect of a response (e.g. testing and treatment, safe burials, etc). Therefore, active coordination and planning with other sectors is crucial at the local and district levels, as well as with national collaborators. 8. Programme managers should actively support and foster regular information exchanges between programme teams within and between organizations (e.g. daily debriefs). 9. Using fear to encourage changes in behaviour can be counterproductive. It is better to promote self-reliance and self-help among affected populations. 10. Many of the lessons from the Ebola response can be applied to Oxfam's WASH programmes, especially cholera responses. Equally, Oxfam's experience with public health promotion (PHP) and WASH interventions means that it is well placed to support and develop capacity in community engagement and social mobilization.
