Dear Donor,
Accurate information is one of the most important tools available to communities during an Ebola outbreak.
As the DRC continues to experience transmission across multiple provinces, misinformation and rumors can make it harder for people to recognize symptoms, seek care and cooperate with response teams.
Development Alert continues emphasizing clear, responsible and community-friendly health communication.
We encourage people to rely on qualified health authorities and trained health workers for medical information rather than unverified claims circulating through social networks or informal channels.
Trust is built when communities receive information that is understandable, respectful and consistent.
Our community engagement approach therefore seeks to reduce fear while encouraging appropriate action.
Your support helps strengthen communication that enables communities to make informed decisions during a difficult public health emergency.
