UNICEF is ramping up COVID-19 risk communication in Eastern and Southern Africa.

We are working on public service announcements with leaders, educational videos by children, supporting community mobilisers, producing songs with influencers and disseminating mobile phone messages through our partnerships with telecommunication companies. 

Do share. Together, we will reduce the impact of COVID-19.
