Coronavirus CivActs Campaign
Situations like the coronavirus pandemic quickly lead to misinformation, rumors and fake news. We can all play a role in beating the virus by making sure that we are sharing validated information and using trusted sources to inform our decision-making.
The Lab has moved quickly to lean on our experience in feedback models to launch the Coronavirus CivActs Campaign. CivActs – or Civic Action Teams – is the new name for our Citizen Helpdesk model. We’ve relaunched as CivActs to situate our work more strongly in civic action and local communities.

The Coronavirus CivActs Campaign (CCC) gathers rumours, concerns and questions from communities across the country to eliminate information gaps between the government, media, NGOs and citizens. By providing the public with facts, the CCC ensures a better understanding of needs regarding the coronavirus and debunks rumours before they can do more harm.
The bulletin is currently available in Nepal, Pakistan, South Africa, Mali, Niger and Nigeria. Download the issues below.
