CCP and COVID-19: By the Numbers

Breakthrough ACTION’s COVID-19 response is lending its expertise in 22 countries across Africa, Asia and Latin America, working on everything from setting up rumor tracking systems to developing social media campaigns to preparing messages for telephone hotlines.

Earlier this year, USAID called on the Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs to support its global response to the COVID-19 pandemic. CCP-led Breakthrough ACTION, USAID’s flagship social and behavior change project, was well-positioned to quickly launch risk communication and community engagement activities in multiple countries and, by the end of February, had activated COVID-19 initiatives in nine countries.

Now, Breakthrough ACTION’s COVID-19 response is lending its expertise in 22 countries across Africa, Asia and Latin America, working on everything from setting up rumor tracking systems to developing social media campaigns to preparing messages for telephone hotlines with the goal of helping families and communities protect themselves by preventing the transmission of COVID-19. Here’s a snapshot of that work, by the numbers
