Message: Promoting trust in burial teams |
Burial teams must be trained and supervised regarding how to behave to bereaved families and/or communities, and how to perform a respectful burial |
If good operational standards are not met, communities will not be willing to participate in safe burials, and the risk of secret burials will continue. |
Channel: Drama shows |
Professionals need to be available to train drama groups how to do community-based theatre |
If training is inadequate, no drama shows will be conducted, or those that are conducted may not carry the desired message |
Messenger: Community leader |
Messengers must be known to and trusted by the community, as well as trained and knowledgeable on the topic. |
Unscreened and/or untrained messengers may end up perpetuating misperceptions to do with Ebola and the Ebola response, thereby undermining community confidence and trust |
