After the record-breaking pace of vaccine and development and deployment, one of the pressing challenges the world faces today is linked to the design of effective communication strategies that promote the adoption of protective behaviors to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, including vaccination.

In an effort to assist local and national governments, businesses and key stakeholders to develop effective COVID-19 communication strategies focused on promoting protective behavior and maximum uptake of the new COVID-19 vaccines that are now coming on stream, UNITAR is pleased to present a series of training toolkits.

The training toolkits aim to provide a guidance on developing effective COVID-19 communication strategies focused on promoting protective behaviour and maximum uptake of the new COVID-19 vaccines.

The toolkits present assets can be used to assist local and national efforts to control the spread of COVID-19 and bring about its eventual eradication through vaccination and communication.

They have been designed for Ministries of Public Health, Secretaries of Health and Public Communication Officers, Government Communication Offices, and those with strategic decision-making and communication responsibilities.
