Breakthrough ACTION COVID-19 Nigeria

Due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in December 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) had prioritized 13 African countries including Nigeria as the most vulnerable countries for importation of COVID-19.

Since the confirmation of an index case in the country, the Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH), Nigerian Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) and WHO commenced the coordination of a response and preparedness plan. One of the components of the plan is Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) with an Incident Action Plan (IAP), which articulates communication objectives and illustrative activities proposed by the NCDC.Through partnership and collaboration,

Breakthrough ACTION Nigeria will work to support the Nigerian Government and RCCE country-level pillar leadership (currently the Health promotion division of the FMoH, NCDC, WHO and UNICEF) with technical assistance to adapt and contextualize plans, tools, templates, and materials to support the preparedness and/or response activities required by Nigeria.

Uganda COVID-19 Campaign

The Next Big Thing

A group of concerned health communication specialists in Uganda has volunteered their time to help the government get word out about COVID-19 and its prevention. These SBC professionals come from a variety of organizations and institutions, including MOH, UNICEF, USAID funded projects, universities, Ugandan NGOs, media houses, and international NGOs. Even retirees and independent consultants are members of the group.

The Next Big Thing group emerged organically with no financial.or technical assistance from any donor funded project. Since March 18th, when the group first decided to offer assistance to the Ministry of Health (MOH), it has developed and launched a mass and social media campaign called Tosemberera. The campaign encourages Ugandans to stay at home, maintain a distance of at least two meters from others, wash hands frequently, and take other precautionary measures recommended by government.

Tonsemberera Campaign

On the 1st of April, only two weeks after work began, the Tonsemberera campaign was launched by the Minister of Health. The campaign is intended to harmonize government communication efforts in response to the pandemic, raise awareness and popularize simple actionable behaviors. It invites citizens, leaders, and popular influencers to share stories through social and mass media about how they are protecting themselves and others. The aim is to engage as many partners as possible to share accurate information about the disease and the government’s recommendations for prevention and treatment.

Thus far the list of materials includes the following (this will be updated as needed):

Tuko Wangapi? Tulizana. – Concurrent Partnerships Campaign – The Bedroom

Tuko wangapi? Tulizana is a national campaign that aims to address concurrent sexual partnerships as a driver of new HIV infections in Tanzania. The campaign aims to increase knowledge of what a sexual network is and why it is risky, and examine the health, social, emotional and other consequences of concurrency. It encourages the audience to think critically about and discuss their own and their partners’ sexual history and behavior, with the ultimate goal of reducing overlapping sexual partnerships. Key campaign channels include radio and TV spots and interactive programs, print and social media, as well as community outreach.

This is a TV spot from the campaign in Tanzania. This 1 minute TV spot shows a couple in bed, soon joined by all of the other people they are having sex with, or have considered having sex with. The couples becomes overwhelmed and frightened and in the end the others disappear and the couple seems to realize that they need to stay faithful to one another.

Early evaluation results showed that over 33,000 radio spots aired on 19 stations since the start of the campaign, and over 300,000 community members have been reached through the Tuko wangapi? community outreach toolkit. Quarterly quarterly market research surveys showed that 69% of respondents had seen or heard the campaign, that 58% can correctly complete the phrase, ‘Tuko wangapi?’, and that over 40% of those exposed to the campaign have discussed the campaign with someone else, with friends and sexual partners being at the top of that list. Phase I of the project achieved its goals of increasing knowledge of and communication about what a sexual network is and why it is risky and in increasing personal HIV risk perception– the “Tuko wangapi?” phase of the campaign. As more evaluation results are available, we will update this page.
