Julienne @AnokoJulienne of @WHOAFRO has been a frontline social scientist for many outbreaks. She reminded us about listening to the communities and their needs and to act on this by ensuring community preparedness by applying social intelligence data
#WHOHubSpeakerSeries
We heard views from social science practitioners & researchers around the world
They highlighted the need to build trust by being trustworthy, collecting data respecting different epistemologies and putting communities and individuals at the centre of response

We ended with a fascinating panel discussion, curated by @IlonaKickbusch who reminded us “We might have the means to create a vaccine in 100 days, however, after an outbreak, can we build trust within 100 days?”
Thanks @ChariteBerlin @WorldhealthSmt & Thomas Steffen - @BMG_Bund
