African People, Culture, and One Health Risk Communication Assessment
Africa is a continent with multi-ethnic nation groups and diverse cultures that shape the norms (gender, rites of passage, beliefs and values) and practices of the society. To effectively communicate and engage with communities, it’s imperative to understand their cultures, beliefs, gender norms and practices.
This module is designed to equip participants with knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values in understanding the diverse African cultures, traditions, and social structures, and how they intersect with health beliefs and practices that impact on rabies and COVID-19 prevention and control. The module briefly introduces the concepts of Culture, One health, RCCE and their application in the African cultural context.
Earn a certificate upon completion and take a step towards your RCCE certification! Open to learners of all levels.
