Purpose of Project
Providing a free hotline for important knowledge, pre-recorded in local languages
CallvsCorona leverages mobile solutions to provide reliable COVID-19 information to a wider population. The project closes a critical gap in access to timely crisis information and sensitization messages necessary to overcoming the global pandemic. To spread this information effectively, CallvsCorona offers a toll-free hotline where callers can access pre-recorded audio messages in their local languages. The introduction of innovative media such as radio dramas and interactive audio games will also allow callers to access engaging COVID-19 information on demand via their mobile phones. Finally, CallvsCorona makes it possible for health authorities to train community health workers remotely. After a successful launch in Madagascar, CallvsCorona has been scaled to Malawi, Mozambique, Haiti, Zambia and Tunisia in phase 1, and currently being implemented in Nigeria and Senegal.
