Abstract
The focus of the Internews H2H-intervention is to enable more reality- and demand-driven communication across the region in all issues emerging from and related to the COVID-19-response. Based on expertise gained during previous health-emergencies and building on the Misinformation Management methodologies, Internews aims to increase trust in and therefore traction of reliable and locally relevant information, by connecting data-collection and monitoring activities (including social media monitoring, rumour tracking and community engagement activities by Internews and others), with the latest vetted information coming from health experts and agencies and using its media and social-media expertise to provide information packages that combine both in a format that enables local media to create content that is best fit for their outlet, channel and audience, in the language they like and understand.
