The Communication Initiative

The Peer Review Group Comments were presented at the June 2004 UNICEF meeting dedicated to examining communication in the context of the final push to eradicate polio. The Peer Review Panel was comprised of independent communication consultants (convened and chaired by The Communication Initiative) whose mandate was to listen, to ask questions and to provide feedback on each country's communication strategy as presented.

The Panel participation in the meeting included initiating and participating in the country post-presentation discussions, meeting at the end of each day to further analyse each presentation, and preparing this summary of panel comments, which was presented as the final session in the three-day meeting. The comments for each of the six countries (Pakistan, Nigeria, Niger, India, Egypt and Afghanistan) include the following sections: overall feedback; an analysis of the individual country presentation; and a number of specific recommendations with measurable outcomes. Subsequent to the meeting, the Panel invited each country to provide feedback to these comments; this feedback is included where it was received.
