Be Safe: Strengthened Ebola communications in Senegal and Guinea-Bissau
November 20, 2015
Posted by Helen James in News.
Participants of training on preparing for and preventing Ebola, have created their own videos to communicate the dangers of the disease and how to avoid it.
Filmed in Creole the message of this video is “ Ebola is real “ and was based on several focus group respondents who did not believe that Ebola existed.
The training is part of the Be Safe project by CAFOD and Catholic Relief Services, which focuses on communications to contribute to the fight against Ebola and other water-borne illnesses and infectious diseases, such as diarrhea and cholera. As well as training, the project creates educational communication materials such as this comic book.
This project is part of the DFID funded Start Ebola Virus Disease preparedness programme.
