What UNICEF is doing to help prevent the spread of H5N1

Snippet...

UNICEF is one of many partners in the comprehensive efforts to contain and control the spread of the virus that draws on the expertise of people in all sectors of society: government, civil society, international donors and development organizations, UN agencies and the private sector. As part of the overall UN response, UNICEF and its partners support governments in East Asia and the Pacific to promote:
  • Behaviour change communication strategies that use radio, television, posters, leaflets, booklets and lesson plans for teachers to spread key messages.
  • Advocacy and media training, including a public service announcement with film action star Jackie Chan and media workshops for more than 200 journalists.
  • Pandemic preparedness
