Communication and Advocacy

Knowing what to say and how to say it are critical in a successful pandemic and humanitarian response. The H2P Initiative has designed low-literacy Communication tools to be used in interpersonal communication at the district- and community-levels. These materials serve as guides to be adapted to specific regional or country situations. An Advocacy package on pandemic and humanitarian facts and information is also available to be used by media, national stakeholders in the public and private sectors.

Building on its field experience and recent response to the H1N1 Influenza, the H2P Initiative has developed and adapted a variety of communication materials to be used when planning for and responding to a local outbreak, or pandemic scenario, including:

- Five Useful Things to Know about the 2009 H1N1 Outbreak
- How Serious is the Current Pandemic Risk?
- How is Pandemic Influenza Different?
- What Can We Learn from Previous Pandemics?
- What Interventions are Available?
- Influenza Counseling Cards for Health Workers and Volunteers

Representing languages and cultures from Latin America to the Caribbean to Middle East to Africa and Southeast and South Asia, these materials can be downloaded below individually or as one .zip file and used at your discretion.

We welcome your feedback and any questions you might have: h2p@h2p-partners.org
