Engaging the community throughout all stages of the initiative, including intervention, dissemination, adapting to changes or feedback.

Systems development through a cyclical and iterative process

2025-02-04 20:39:59 UTC

Monthly meetings to get feedback from implementers and participants and make adjustments or changes together.

Asking the community what resources exist in the community that could be used, or they are familiarized with (local parks, community centers, places of worship)

2025-02-04 20:41:14 UTC

The community is the content experts. Not only engaging them in all parts but actively listening to them and implementing their feedback.

2025-02-04 20:41:56 UTC

Compensating community members accordingly for their participation in activities (from conceptualization of the program, implementation, and dissemination).

Identify the particularities of the community to ensure the program is culturally relevant and appropriate to them.

Dissemination of findings/knowledge that is inclusive

2025-02-04 20:42:51 UTC

-Using simple infographics, or involving the elementary aged children to create short update or informational videos.

-Having a team dedicated to reaching out to local reps or stakeholders

-Monthly newsletters

-Private feedback box

Active communication: Build channels where information is actively exchange throughout the process using channels they are familiar with (social media, newsletter, bulletin boards, radio PSAs,)

2025-02-04 20:44:10 UTC

More community based discussion, not too much led by one person or leader.

2025-02-04 20:44:41 UTC

Coming back to goals of the initiative and tracking progress

2025-02-04 20:45:57 UTC

Communication facilitates sustainability and long-term commitments; but this only works both ways. Just like the community is expected to deliver and participate, the planning group should actively communicate with the community at all steps of the project. This includes status, developments, achievements etc.,
