Outbreak READY 2 ! : Thisland en crise Aperçu

Outbreak READY 2 ! : Thisland en crise is an online digital simulation designed for humanitarian health practitioners. In Outbreak READY 2 ! : Thisland en crise, you take the role of a Health Program Manager leading the health response for a medium-sized, international NGO named READY. The NGO operates in Thisland, a fictitious, low-income country that has experienced recent civil conflict, mass displacement, and an influenza epidemic. The simulation is divided into three chapters that follow an evolving outbreak from the first detection to its spread throughout the population. As Health Program Manager, you will identify, assess, and interpret sources of data to plan and implement an integrated outbreak response that prioritizes communication and community engagement, protection principles, and staff safety and well-being.

IMPORTANT!

Outbreak READY 2 ! : Thisland en crise builds upon but is independent from Outbreak READY!, READY’s first digital outbreak simulation, in which the learner takes the role of a Team Lead during the aforementioned influenza epidemic. While Outbreak READY 2 ! : Thisland en crise takes place after the events of Outbreak READY!, it is not necessary to play Outbreak READY! before playing Outbreak READY 2 ! : Thisland en crise.

The simulation is designed for national and international NGOs responding to humanitarian emergencies, particularly targeting NGO health staff, including health program managers and coordinators, RCCE focal points, and community health workers.

Outbreak READY 2 ! : Thisland en crise provides learners an opportunity to test and apply the following skills:

  1. Épidémiologie appliquée pour la réponse clinique et de santé publique: Mettre en œuvre et coordonner une réponse sanitaire basée sur les données face à une épidémie de maladie infectieuse en évolution.
  2. Communication efficace et engagement communautaire: Developing and implementing a Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) strategy using a data-driven approach.
  3. Humanitarian Leadership: Minimiser les risques et les vulnérabilités des personnes, du personnel et des partenaires touchés par la crise tout au long d'une réponse à une épidémie.
