Welcome to the session introducing the first exercise on the communication
project cycle.
You now have to imagine yourself being confronted with a real life situation.
Let's go back to March 2014, on the 22nd of March
the Guinean Ministry of Health officially declared the outbreak of Ebola.
You have been appointed communication officer for
the Medecins Sans Frontieres team based in Conakry, Guinea at the end of March 2014.
As Medecins Sans Frontieres,
MSF, is an international medical humanitarian organization.
You will need to assist the operational team on the ground,
whose aim is to reduce the mortality rate due to Ebola virus disease.
The team, overwhelmed by the daily work,
has limited time to share information, and update everyone on the situation.
