Details
This program builds on existing tools and actions being taken by Red Cross members but also external partners. A number of activities will occur within the program focused on three workstreams: Community Preparedness, National Society Preparedness and Private Sector and Key Stakeholders Engagement.
Job Purpose
Evidence generation is an important focus across the program and is imbedded through baseline, close monitoring, and evaluation. At the outset a detailed baseline study is being designed, including a mixed-methods knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) study. The CP3 KAP Intern will work with the CP3 team in the Africa Region, to develop a KAP question guide and survey methodology investigating the baseline state of community epidemic and pandemic preparedness. The intern will pilot the survey in one or two countries that are implementing CP3, and develop the tools which can be applied in the other program countries. The intern will also be responsible for data compilation and analysis for the 8 countries who are part of the program.
The CP3 KAP intern will be supported to develop their skills and knowledge in questionnaire development, survey design and primary data collection in a real-world setting, and gain knowledge of the suites of community epidemic and pandemic preparedness complexities. They will benefit from the support of public health experts in the regional and global CP3 teams.
