ALNAP communications colleagues will be involved throughout the SOHS research cycle as essential members of the SOHS project team. The communications and engagement plans will build on the various written and audiovisual products produced for the last report, including thematic written briefs, an animation,
an e-reader and the successful set of nearly 60 tailored briefings and launches conducted for the fifth edition with diverse actors across the system.
A communication plan will be drafted in the inception phase in discussion with the research leads to ensure that the overall framing of the report, its key questions and findings lend themselves to effective communication and learning processes to inform policy and practice. In addition to designing the dissemination plans for the final main report and public engagement at key points throughout the research
process, the Communications team will work closely with the in-country researchers to explore context specific engagement opportunities and the best formats for sharing the country reports. SAG input on these plans and engagement in the dissemination of the final report products and learnings will be appreciated.
