Strategy 4:Health education and community action Key achievements: • IEC Taskforce developed a series of key H1N1 messages for use in materials production, social mobilization efforts and media trainings. • IEC Taskforce members launched a major H1N1 communications campaign in conjunction with SEA Games sporting events in Vientiane Capital in November 2009. • Immunization campaign supporting H1N1 vaccine deployment – targeted messaging for pregnant women, health care workers and people with chronic illnesses.

  5. Strategy 4:Health education and community action Key achievements: (cont’d) • Overall strong progress noted on: • H1N1 messaging & materials preparation • H1N1 promotion through media advertising • Risk communications training • Development of training materials in schools • Orientations for media • Outreach to cross-border and migrant populations • Research and strategy reviews JIR on Strategy 4: Health Communication & Community Action

  6. Strategy 4:Health education and community action • Lessons Learnt & Recommendations: • Routine activities, such as health radio programming and teacher training, should continue in order to maintain progress on indicators. Recent declines on indicators (ie: related to behaviors on animal health) correlate to reduced funding for related activities, demonstrating the fragile nature of initial gains. • Coverage of indicators should be expanded to reflect the evolving EID situation. Recommend linking indicators to the Asia Pacific Strategy on Emerging Diseases (APSED) – assisting Laos to meet its obligations under International Health Regulations.

  7. Strategy 4:Health education and community action • Lessons Learnt & Recommendations: (Cont’d) • Recognition of continued need for outreach to ethnic communities. Qualitative/participatory research and recommendations available to support activities. • Recommend that risk communication and spokesperson training budgets under Strategy 5 (S5M1A8.4; S5M1A8.5) be managed by focal points under Strategy 4. Some related activities are already being planned and implemented by IEC Taskforce partners. JIR on Strategy 4: Health Communication & Community Action
