develop and deliver messaging to affected populations through innovative
digital media, such as Viber Knowledge Talk channel, creative IEC materials, and SBC and IPC training for community-based volunteers. These
approaches have helped reach over 2 million people in development and
humanitarian settings in the past year.lt/spangtltbrgtlt/pgtltp class="" style=""gtSBC in UNICEF also spearheads the AAP interventions to give communities a platform to give feedback and participate in decisions around services that affect their lives.
This community feedback mechanism and response approach has informed the planning
of programme service sectors to design /redesign their services for the
communities. This includes interventions such as setting up of AAP dashboard
for partners to log in feedback from communities, AAP e-course in local Myanmar
language accessible all over the country, including hard-to-reach areas, and
training of partners on AAP approaches and feedback mechanisms. ltbrgtlt/pgtltp class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:9.95pt"gtltspan style="font-family:"gtltbrgtlt/spangtltspan style="color: black font-family: Arial, sans-serif"gtThe proposed project
