Scores

Adaptability

- The IEC would translate to other contexts - the Shelterkit image/contents could be adapted, but the standard messaging would still apply and could remain the same. Reference to Save the Children staff would need to be adapted as well.

Text Clarity

- Very minimal text, and local language used for the hotline which is great.

Context Appropriateness

- Local language used, and the IEC was developed to match the specific shelter kit used.

Technical Complexity

- The messaging is not complex, and for emergency contexts, should be effective and generally understood by the generalist. The minimal text and dimensions helps to keep the message simple.

Image Clarity

- Images very clear - could be used as handout IECs but also as larger banners.

Technical Accuracy

- Uses standard messaging to show basic fixing techniques - all technically accurate and simple.

Potential Risk

- The images of 'do not smoke' and 'no flames' could be improved by adding an a-frame over the top - to make the messaging a bit clearer. The standard shed design shown could be misinterpreted as an endorsed design to work towards from a technical lens, but from a generalist point of view is no problem. Including a reference to PSEA (e.g. All humanitarian aid is free. No sexual or other favour may be requested in exchange for humanitarian assistance) could help to mitigate potential harm to affected families receiving the items.

Additional Explanation

No, it needs additional explanation

Rollout

Overall

Clear, well thought-through images and messaging for an emergency context. The IEC is not too busy, uses minimal text, and can be well understood by the generalist. Could be easily adapted to other contexts and should be effective when combined with training/orientation. The inclusion of hotline and image of Save the Children staff is also a great inclusion to help mitigate any potential risks.
