Responding to COVID-19: Community Preparedness and Management of Public Health Emergency

“Responding to COVID-19: Community Preparedness and Management of Public Health Emergency” is a sub-project under the ARISE project supported by ARISE Responsive Fund. This project was co-designed and jointly implemented by ARISE project’s research partner BRAC James P Grant School of Public Health (JPGSPH), BRAC University, community mobilization partner BRAC Urban Development Programme (UDP) and the community. This project interventions were designed based on the findings of the COVID-19 research of the ARISE project to address the urgent health needs of the marginalized communities living in informal urban settlements, support them to be more resilient to public health emergencies and to promote health and hygiene practice among the people living in urban informal communities in the context of COVID-19 pandemic era.
