Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone. And we never give up. For every child, good health During the 2018-2020 Ebola outbreak in the DRC, UNICEF led the setup of an integrated, multi-actor social sciences analytics cell (Cellule d'Analyse Intégrée - CAI), which worked alongside the Epidemiological Analysis Cell to be able to provide real time, Integrated Outbreak Analytics. The work of the CAI was to provide rapid understanding of potential causal factors in epidemiological trends, identify secondary impacts of the outbreak and map changing community and public health and healthcare seeking behaviours during and after the outbreak. The study results are aimed to influence response actors, interventions, and strategies. The CAI seeks to use evidence to influence and improve outbreak and public health interventions for greater public health outcomes. The IOA approach that was led by the DRC CAI, was reviewed, and modelled to support its replication in other public health emergencies across different countries and context. Since, the IOA model has been replicated in the DRC for Ebola, cholera, measles, meningitis, polio and the public health impacts of displacement and conflict (including malnutrition and gender-based violence). In 2022 the CAI was set up within the National Institute for Public Health (INSP) at national level and in 2023 the first provincial level unit was formalized in North Kivu. The UNICEF CAI team have continued to support the Ministry of Health to apply the IOA approach to address new and recurrent outbreaks. In 2022 this resulted in 281 co-developed and evidence-based actions of which, 91% had been actioned before the end of year. In 2019-20 the IOA approach was reviewed, and a logic model developed and support other public health emergencies globally. In 2023, It has been adopted as an initiative by Global Outbreak Alerts and Response Network (GOARN); lead by UNICEF, WHO, CDC-Atlanta, IFRC, MSF-Epicentre. The DRC continues to be the lead country to develop IOA and build IOA tools, case studies and lessons learned.
