Mlipuko TAYARI 2!: Nchi hii iko katika Mgogoro Muhtasari
What is the Mlipuko TAYARI 2!: Nchi hii iko katika Mgogoro simulation?
Mlipuko TAYARI 2!: Nchi hii iko katika Mgogoro is an online digital simulation designed for humanitarian health practitioners. In Mlipuko TAYARI 2!: Nchi hii iko katika Mgogoro, you take the role of a Health Program Manager leading the health response for a medium-sized, international NGO named READY. The NGO operates in Thisland, a fictitious, low-income country that has experienced recent civil conflict, mass displacement, and an influenza epidemic. The simulation is divided into three chapters that follow an evolving outbreak from the first detection to its spread throughout the population. As Health Program Manager, you will identify, assess, and interpret sources of data to plan and implement an integrated outbreak response that prioritizes communication and community engagement, protection principles, and staff safety and well-being.
IMPORTANT!
Mlipuko TAYARI 2!: Nchi hii iko katika Mgogoro builds upon but is independent from Mlipuko TAYARI!, READY’s first digital outbreak simulation, in which the learner takes the role of a Team Lead during the aforementioned influenza epidemic. While Mlipuko TAYARI 2!: Nchi hii iko katika Mgogoro takes place after the events of Mlipuko TAYARI!, it is not necessary to play Mlipuko TAYARI! before playing Mlipuko TAYARI 2!: Nchi hii iko katika Mgogoro.
Who is the Mlipuko TAYARI 2!: Nchi hii iko katika Mgogoro simulation for?
The simulation is designed for national and international NGOs responding to humanitarian emergencies, particularly targeting NGO health staff, including health program managers and coordinators, RCCE focal points, and community health workers.
What is the purpose of the Mlipuko TAYARI 2!: Nchi hii iko katika Mgogoro simulation?
Mlipuko TAYARI 2!: Nchi hii iko katika Mgogoro provides learners an opportunity to test and apply the following skills:
- Epidemiolojia iliyotumika kwa mwitikio wa kliniki na afya ya umma: Kutekeleza na kuratibu mwitikio wa afya unaoendeshwa na data kwa mlipuko wa magonjwa ya kuambukiza.
- Mawasiliano yenye ufanisi na ushiriki wa jamii: Developing and implementing a Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) strategy using a data-driven approach.
- Humanitarian Leadership: Kupunguza hatari na udhaifu kwa watu, wafanyakazi na washirika walioathiriwa na mgogoro wakati wote wa kukabiliana na mlipuko.
Shukrani
The Mlipuko TAYARI 2!: Nchi hii iko katika Mgogoro digital simulation was developed by the READY initiative. We would like to thank the Johns Hopkins Center for Humanitarian Health for its leadership, and all READY consortium partners and serious game consultant Rex Brynen for their time, input, and efforts throughout all stages of development. In addition, we would like to thank all the humanitarians from agencies and locations around the world who took the time to play each version and provide critical feedback to strengthen both the design and the content of Mlipuko TAYARI 2!: Nchi hii iko katika Mgogoro. Mlipuko TAYARI 2!: Nchi hii iko katika Mgogoro was created in collaboration with the game development studio &RANJ. The simulation would not be possible without their team’s innovative design and creative contributions.
