Publication: What Has The Pandemic Taught Us About Science Communication? (Junaid Nabi-Aspen Institute)

June 24, 2021

Too often during the COVID-19 pandemic, poor communication by scientists and experts has led to the low take-up of measures that could have saved lives.

This is having a significant impact on progress in tackling the pandemic, in the US and elsewhere.

Scientists and healthcare leaders need to focus on developing clarity and empathy, as these are the key qualities for effective communication in a crisis.

Good communication skills deter conflict, create a sense of collective endeavor, and ultimately save lives.

This article highlights some of the lessons from  COVID-19 regarding science communication.

New Publication: How to Use Behaviour Change Communications for COVID-19 Digital Response

June 16, 2021

As COVID-19 spreads across the globe, the world is faced with travel bans, project funding restrictions, and the increasing need to operate remotely. A multi-faceted COVID-19 Digital Response, including behaviour change communication on personal and respiratory hygiene, proper handwashing, social distancing, and so is therefore essential.

Trying to get these vital messages out to the remotest and most marginalised communities is a significant challenge from a human-centered design, implementation, and impact monitoring perspective: how can we know what technology people are using and who they trust? How can we work with local groups remotely in an effective way? How can we be assured that behaviour change is in action?

This publication highlights way in which SBCC can be utilised in COVID-19 Digital response.

The Digital Safety Net: Citizens and Technology in the Age of Covid-19

June 9, 2020

 

Chair

Jonathan Tanner @Tannerjc – Research Associate, Digital Societies, ODI

Speakers

Oscar Tapp Scotting @DCMS – Deputy Director, Security & Online Harms, UK Government Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport

Maureen Stickel – Associate Director and Head of Zambia, IDinsight

Calvin Chong – Director of International Affairs, Ministry of Communications and Information of the Republic of Singapore, @SingaporeMCI

Description

The urgency of the Covid-19 threat is increasing the demand for governments to use existing technologies in new ways and to use untested new technologies on urgent problems. The use of these technologies are part of a rapidly deployed ‘digital safety net’ aimed at saving lives and protecting citizens. Without the usual time available to test new ideas it is more important than ever that best practice is identified and shared.

This event contributes to further thinking about the role of digital technology in providing a safety net in times of crisis, the essential components of the safety net and newly designed technology being used to respond to the Covid-19 crisis.

We explore perspectives from different geographies and address critical lessons covering three aspects of the crisis response: tackling the virus, social protection and public information.
