The READY initiative is welcoming applications for an upcoming Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) Readiness Training for Major Disease Outbreak Response. This five-day training aims to strengthen technical and operational leadership to plan and execute RCCE readiness and response in large-scale outbreaks with considerations for humanitarian contexts.
The goal of this training is to strengthen RCCE leadership to drive a more participatory, community-led response in large-scale outbreaks, and facilitate behavior change with data-driven communication. The training will include interactive exercises that link to an evolving outbreak scenario in a humanitarian setting, allowing learners to apply what they have learned and reflect on operational considerations.
Audience: National, local, and international NGO that is operating in Lebanon; government and UN representatives are also encouraged to apply. Applicants in the region that are not based in Lebanon will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Program Fee: $0 While there is no training program fee, selected individuals will need to commit to attending the two online sessions and the five-day training to participate. READY will support breakfast, tea breaks, and lunch for all five days. READY has limited funding available to support travel costs for local/ national organizations and lodging for anyone traveling from outside of Erbil who needs it. Funding will be considered on an as-needed basis based on requests. Please indicate support requests on the application form. READY will discuss expected commitments with individuals during the selection process.
