Adaptability

- These could be used in any areas where makeshift camps are constructed or where there's a risk of creating larger scale bush/brush fires across open country.

- sensible messaging for context with tents, and where people of all ages and sexes wear tshirts

- It can be used in any camp for displaced persons, with minimal changes to adapt it to particular contexts.

- Translation into local language

Text Clarity

- Unable to comment on the local language.

- french language version is clear. other languages not validated. however graphically a bit diverse

- Clear and basic language

- Clear, but "don't cook inside your tent and keep flames in a covered area" can be confusing.

Context Appropriateness

- This message is very appropriate and deserves more expansion, better illustration and clearer instructions.... especially to include the dangers of open fires to young children in resettlement camps. Also worth including would be suggestions on stopping fires spreading and where to go for assistance in times of fire.

- appears to be clear

- It is appropriate for an IDP camp context

- No comment

Technical Complexity

- fire safety advice in french and local dialect targetted at CAR.

- The message is clear and easy to understand.

- None

Image Clarity

- The illustrations are crude and scaled badly... but hold their message. These would be likely understood as personal instructions in the setting they are designed for. Most illustrations are showing personal behaviour, but there is one which questions the proximity of the tents to each other which is not often a person but a camp construction responsibility.

- clear messaging with images from a few different sources. content can be adjusted but could be clearer hierarchy of messages and visually more coherent

- Comments are very clear

- Images linked to prevention on the first page are too small and unclear, would suggest removing it and keeping it only on the second page. Message is clear for "Western eye" but unsure about locally.

Technical Accuracy

- clear messaging on fire safety

- It is technically accurate. I suggest including comments on the distance between tents to prevent the spread of flames in case of fire

- Could also mention the recommended distance between shelters.

Potential Risk

- appears to be locally adpated fire risks issues- needs to be reviewed for other contexts as primary risks change.

- Information regarding tents optimal installation (distances betwen them) and emergency exits or Fire Assembly Point

- "Don't cook inside your tent and keep flames in a covered area" People might think the risk only concerns suffocation due to smoke. And then build an easily flammable covered space. Make sure the covered area is distant from the tents and not easily flammable to reduce risks.

Additional Explanation

No, it needs additional explanation

Yes, it is enough

Unsure

Rollout

Pass the message orally with the support of images and texts. The images can be used as support but the oral transmission of the messages are important in CAR's culture.

Placing on site. Should be complemented by oral training to adapt to local capacity.

Overall

Important issue and deserves better quality visual instruction. This message could have a a pan-African audience if it was reassigned to need less language explanation and better illustration.

overall clear IEC with messaging on fire. graphically a bit confused but appears to be adapted to a specific context.

The message is clear, technically correct and adapted to the context.

Even though I would recommend adjustments to maximize potential, still a useful document. Would, however, recommend pairing with verbal training. Typo: "éteindre les flammes!*"
