Developing appropriate models for multi-layered, multi-sectored, dialoguebased engagement represents one pillar of SoNAR-Global. Consequently, we performed a mapping and assessment exercise in 2019 as part of the project's first steps, searching for existing models of CE targeting infectious threats and AMR. We compared the identified examples with the UNICEF Communication for Development (C4D) Minimum Quality Standards for Community Engagement [6], which defines and narrows down the various understandings of CE and provides practical guidance for CE-based research and response activities, stressing that CE needs to be specific, localised, responsive, and bi-directional, and that top-down approaches must be avoided.
