Supporting UNICEFs Community Engagement strategy in CAR

UNICEF in CAR has committed to putting affected populations, including children, women and the most vulnerable groups, at the centre of its work. We are supporting them to enable affected children and families to be properly informed and participate in the decisions that affect their lives. 

Using both quantitative and qualitative research methods, we are gauging communities’ perceptions of the programmes implemented by UNICEF and its partners. We will engage with community members, leaders, local authorities and humanitarian staff on their views of existing feedback mechanisms and community platforms and their recommendations on how to improve things.  

These views will serve as a baseline for perception data that can be tracked in the future, and will feed into the development of UNICEF’s community engagement strategy.
