Organizational Context

The RCCE Collective Service is a collaborative partnership between the IFRC, UNICEF, WHO with support from the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN), and key stakeholders from the public health and humanitarian sectors. The Collective Service aims to deliver the structures and mechanisms required for a coordinated community-centred approach that is embedded across public health, humanitarian, and development response efforts. This will ensure expert driven, collaborative, consistent and localised RCCE support reaches governments and partners involved in the national response to COVID-19 and beyond.

Climate change-driven extreme weather events are increasingly fueling public health emergencies such as cholera outbreaks, underscoring the urgent need for coordinated, community-centered RCCE. Despite progress by partners in utilizing community feedback to inform emergency health responses, there remains limited quantitative evidence on RCCE's impact. To address this, the Collective Service has received funding from the Rockerfellar Foundation for a two-part project. The project will use both quantitative and qualitative methods to evaluate the effectiveness of RCCE interventions, specifically Community Feedback Mechanisms (CFMs), and integrate them into anticipatory action frameworks. The project aims to demonstrate RCCE's critical role in improving emergency preparedness and health outcomes, build the case for institutionalizing RCCE across health systems, and inform strategic investments by governments and donors.

An Information Management consultant is critical for the project and will support the integration of RCCE into anticipatory action systems and help embed data-driven, community-informed approaches into public health emergency preparedness and response planning. This consultancy will also align with the broader efforts of the Collective Service in strengthening Information Management systems and capacities in countries facing public health emergencies.
