community trust and develop evidence-based 
recommendations, actions, and plans to 
increase trust.
The IFRC continues to co-chair the Collective 
Ser vice for 
Risk Communication and 
Community Engagement 
(RCCE) which 
engages more than 60 partners and supports 
almost 30 countries globally deliver the greatest 
impact, reduce duplication, and increase effec-
tiveness of localized action.
The RCCE 
data dashboard
streamlined the 
analysis and use of socio-behavioural data, com-
munity feedback, social listening insights. With 
more than 250 studies and 170,000 data points, 
it continues to be a reference to understand the 
COVID data landscape.
As of December 2022, the IFRC had supported 
dedicated initiatives to strengthen community 
engagement and accountability approaches in 
77 National Societies throughout all regions. A 
total of 29 surge deployments also supported 
community engagement strategies in crisis 
responses, from the Ukraine response to the 
hunger crisis in Africa.
The IFRC also accelerated support to National 
Societies to systematically collect, analyze, and 
use community data and evidence to inform 
decision-making, and demonstrate the impact 
of community engagement.
The newly released 
Community Feedback kit
 sup-
ported the IFRC and National Societies in setting 
up systematic feedback systems (
85 feedback 
mechanisms
were active as of December 2022).
Feedback systems were activated in operations 
such as the Ebola response in Uganda and to 
address community concerns and perceptions 
within the Ukraine response.
In an effort to enhance data capacity, more 
than 80 Red Cross and Red Crescent staff from 
32 National Societies worldwide were trained 
to accelerate investments into better quality, 
availability and use of data on behavioural and 
social dimensions, communities’ perspectives 
and knowledge to inform effective programming.
The newly designed 
Social Science training 
and 
data toolbox will support this effort.
