This Guide provides practical guidance for governments regarding how to effectively communicate with communities during the recovery phase following an emergency. It explains how to identify communication needs, and presents “best fit” communication methods and strategies to deploy to support Di...saster Recovery Frameworks (DRF) and recovery strategies.
The Guide is divided into six sections, as follows:
SECTION 1 Good Practice Principles for Effective Communication
SECTION 2 Barriers to Effective Communication
SECTION 3 How to Identify Communication Needs during Recovery
SECTION 4 Communication Methods for Recovery Planning and Operations
SECTION 5 Developing a Communication Plan
SECTION 6 Key Take-away Messages

It is for this reason the National HIV Prevention  Strategy 2015-2020 (2018 Revision) emphasises the role of preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in ...reducing new HIV infections in Malawi. 
The Ministry of Health has prioritised PrEP use among the populations  most at-risk of HIV infection in Malawi: young women ages 10 to 24  years, sero-discordant couples, female sex workers, men who have  sex with men, and other priority populations (such as members of the  uniformed services, prisoners, and mobile populations).

At the core of this process is the belief that positive action must be taken to interactively facilitate effective media coverage
of events and ...situations rather than simply responding to the resulting coverage. By implementing such a “proactive” and interactive approach, public health organizations and officials will be in a stronger position to ensure that their messages are accurately reported, highly visible and clearly heard

It thendocuments when the health communication response became more useful and explores what that tells us about effective media and commu...nication. Finally, it offers recommendations to ensure that media and communication are used to their full potential during other disease outbreaks and humanitarian crisis
