Connecting the world with people fleeing from conflict in a dignified and empowered way is central to the #powertobe campaign.

So proud to have @ifrc launch this for the 3rd year in a row and learn from the Social Social team, @RedCrescent with support from @eu_echo. ✨

How do we better use feedback data from communities we work with and serve to respond better to people’s needs and tackle misinformation?

@EvaErlach shared her learnings from our response to COVID-19 and Ebola. #IFRCSkillshare22

[Eva Erlach @EvaErlach]

What will make you cover our story?
Add the voice of affected people themselves! We don't want to hear from the representatives flying in on business class in their aircondictioned rooms.

[Eva Erlach @EvaErlach]

How can we work with media to tell human stories in a dignified way?
✨ Focus on the person, not the issue
✨ Show people are overcoming the challenges
✨ Add the "So what?"

Inspired by Asmaa, Ahmad & all the amazing Syrian storytellers of the ESSN storytelling project. ✨ What a meaningful way to shift the perspective and empower individuals to communicate about what they are passionate about - food, advocay, arts #ShiftThePower

Epidemics start and end in communities.

That’s why TRUST matters — it’s critically important.

@EvaErlach shared insights from DRC & the community feedback mechanisms that @IFRC network teams use to listen, address rumors, and improve humanitarian response.

Today I had the privilege to join @RedCrossArmenia Youth & Leadership Academy. 20 incredible #Volunteers were shortlisted (out of 600 applicants) pitching for projects & initiatives, and 12 will receive seed grants to include in national Society programmes

[Eva Erlach @EvaErlach]

@hichamdiab It has been a pleasure @hichamdiab! Excited to be part of the @RedCrossArmenia process to set up a central #feedback mechanism!

[Eva Erlach @EvaErlach]

"Community feedback data collection has both instrumental and intrinsic value for outbreak response and should be normalised as a critical data stream" Read our article "The response is like a big ship" here: https://t.co/O1JMp3Do0U #shiftthepower #publichealth

[Dr. Gillian McKay @gillianleemckay]

So grateful to co-authors @no_palindrome @ombaggio @EvaErlach, Lucia Robles-Dios, Cheick Abdoulaye Camara & Francesco Checchi! It was a pleasure to work with you!

Thanks to @crrdc1 & @ifrc for creating & implementing the community feedback system & hosting the research.

[Corrie Butler @CorButler]

Trust. The commodity humanitarians rely on but take for granted. Yet it's critical to our ability to help.

Proud to see this research on responding to #Ebola in #DRCongo. When you listen & respond quickly you build trust and save lives 💪 #Commisaid https://t.co/GAn71YCq8n

[Eva Erlach @EvaErlach]

Read about how the #RedCross volunteers have listened and responded to communities during the #Ebola response in #DRCongo - and they continue to do so! Grateful for getting to work with and learn from such an amazing team.

[Francesco Rocca @Francescorocca]

Listen, engage & empower communities are our priorities in the humanitarian response. Very compelling publication about our work in #DRCongo during the #Ebola epidemic. Great work done by our #RedCross @crrdc1 local volunteers together with @ifrc & @CDCgov https://t.co/hO7jhR4f9c

[Alexandra Sicotte-Lévesque @alexandrasl]

Our new @IFRCGo dashboard showcasing community insights on #COVID19 gathered by 35 #RedCrossRedCresent National Societies in #Africa .
Listening to people's concerns is primordial-- now we need to act on what we hear to build trust. https://t.co/Pk0EmEIIWh

[Eva Erlach @EvaErlach]

Our article is out! "Using #CommunityFeedback to Guide the #COVID19 Response in Sub-Saharan #Africa: Red Cross and Red Crescent Approach and Lessons Learned from #Ebola" Let´s change what we do, not just what we say... curious to hear your thoughts! https://t.co/XjIo1Cu60d

[Alexandra Sicotte-Lévesque @alexandrasl]

Working on #vaccines and #COVID19? Check out this great pocket guide that our team has made available for #RedCrossRedCrescent National Societies, but useful for all. Vaccines won’t be effective without true community engagement. #commisaid @ifrc https://t.co/eMDY7QFxZr
