The COVID-19 pandemic has clearly illustrated the value of engaged communities ready to participate in response efforts. Taking stock of lessons and experiences in community engagement during health emergencies and other health programs, the Country Readiness Strengthening Department led by its Director, Dr Nedret Emiroglu, developed the Community Engagement Package project in partnership with the WHO colleagues involved in CE work. The design process of the package was anchored on community engagement principles: the design and contents were co-created with diverse teams from WHO, Social Innovation in Health Initiative (SIHI), UNICEF, community practitioners, and other partners, providing synergistic contributions and bridging existing silos. |

This Workshop Package was developed as a complementary strategy to the online course, highlighting important topics and practical activities that might be useful for participants to enhance their Community Engagement (CE) practice. The expected output from the CE Workshop Package is the identification of "new experiences" to be documented and incorporated into the CE database.
