Community Balanced Scorecard for Community Engagement Program for Community-based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM): A User’s Guide and Toolkit (CMN 2015)
The Community Balanced Scorecard for Community Engagement (CBSC-CE) is a tool designed to measure an organization’s performance, technical capacity and needs in community engagement programs for Community-Based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM). This tool was developed by the Coverage Monitoring Network (CMN). Between 2012 and 2015, the CMN has supported over 150 CMAM coverage assessments globally, helping to identify key lessons in community engagement programs and common boosters and barriers to access across CMAM services. This tool was developed based on the lessons learned during these coverage assessments and other field experiences globally.
Engaging the community to support a CMAM program is manageable and effective when broken down into the phases of the Community Engagement Framework, a process designed to guide practitioners in better community engagement programming. Community engagement activities should be initiated and sustained during all stages of CMAM programming.
Instaurer la confiance en la vaccination : Créer un partenariat avec les autorités et associations religieuses (UNICEF 2004)
Les autorités religieuses, très influentes au niveau des communautés, ont un rôle capital à jouer dans la couverture vaccinale, en particulier parce qu’elles peuvent apporter leur appui aux programmes de vaccination. Conçu à l’intention des chargés de communication, des responsables des programmes et de leurs partenaires dans le secteur de la vaccination, cet ouvrage présente les grands principes directeurs de la création d’alliances avec les chefs et groupes religieux sur les questions de vaccination. Il donne également des conseils sur les mesures à prendre lorsque les programmes de vaccination se heurtent à une certaine résistance et il présente des succès enregistrés dans trois pays (Sierra Leone, Angola et Inde)
Building Trust in Immunization: Partnering with Religious Leaders and Groups (UNICEF 2004)
The guidelines presented in this workbook were created for communication and programme officers and their immunization partners seeking to develop and maintain strong working relationships with religious leaders and groups. They also suggest what actions might be taken when a religious leader or group organizes resistance to immunization. While the guidelines provide an overall framework, they do not offer specific health messages based on religious texts.
The guidelines also suggest ways to reinforce a group’s own organizational structure so that leaders and their followers stay actively engaged in supporting immunization and other health programmes. Three case studies illustrate how alliances were built in Sierra Leone, Angola and India to overcome resistance against routine immunization and polio eradication. The studies are intended to illustrate processes that have worked, rather than models to follow when working with religious groups.
