The purpose of this document is to provide guidance for anyone involved in humanitarian assistance who produces communications on behalf of an organisation (e.g. press releases, social media, fund raising appeals) or engages with the media (e.g. interviews). It aims to support communications experts to provide accurate information that protects and supports infants and young children and their caregivers and reduces harmful interventions.
This document has been developed by the Emergency Nutrition Network (ENN) and the IFE Core Group. This was made possible by the generous support of the American people through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The contents are the responsibility of the ENN and do not necessarily reflect the views of USAID or the United States Government. This material has been adapted, with thanks, from Save the Children’s Internal Communications Guidance and guidance developed by the Technical Rapid Response Team (Tech RRT) for the Nigeria Nutrition in Emergencies Working Group.
