TABLE 2.
Identified Issue From Feedback | Identified Focus Area of Improvement | Action Taken |
---|---|---|
Webinar analytics showed poor attendance from Francophone countries | To increase participation from Francophone countries | Changed the time of French webinars to cater for a more preferred time. Ensured translation of any prepared presentation materials |
Questions raised during panel discussions consistently drew on informal/unsystematic knowledge of organizers | To increase space to discuss context-specific adaptations | Changed the webinar format to include a specific section each week where a different country would share their experience on the topic discussed to provide a real-world example and stimulate structured discussion |
Webinar analytics showed relative poor attendance from Central and East Africa (predominantly West African attendees) | To increase participation beyond West Africa | Conducted additional promotion through existing channels |
Weekly meetings among organizers and the internal evaluation report between Round I and II highlighted high traffic of irrelevant discussion on the COP | To improve engagement with the COP | Implemented a rota among the organizers to moderate the COP daily with regular posting of relevant information or documents to stimulate relevant discussion |
Webinar analytics identified relatively few in a manager role and this was raised during Q&A in panel discussions | To increase participation of “managers and policymakers” | Edited content and prepared a specific “IPC for managers” webinar series currently being released |
