We manage and organise media and public relations activities to facilitate access to information and inform the public about health activities and news.
We develop effective messages to achieve communication objectives and coordinate activities to promote healthy behaviours by developing strategies, key messages and tools for implementing and monitoring the impact of health information.
We chair the National Health Promotion, Social Determinant of Environmental Health Technical Working Group and manage a national electronic repository of all health promotion messages known as the Rwanda Compass.
We run a call centre that provided information to more than 5000 people a day during the Covid-19 pandemic.
In addition to international media, we work with around 1,000 local journalists, working with 35 radio programmes, 14 television programmes, 36 print media houses and 92 online media houses.
Launched in August 2019, Rwanda Compass serves as an online platform for easy development, review and approval process, access to approved health promotion materials and messages for partners, with over 2,000 titles currently stored.
