(3C) Gap Analysis Tool

The 3C Gap Analysis Tool enables Governments and stakeholders to assess their preparedness to deploy Ebola Vaccines in the areas of Communication, Community Engagement and Compliance Management. World Vision Ireland developed the 3C Gap Analysis Tool in a two-year co-design process alongside the Ministries of Health in Sierra Leone, Senegal and Uganda and with inputs from academics, researchers and practitioners in the field of Ebola responses.

A digital version of the 3C Gap Analysis Tool is currently in development and being tested alongside key health planners within the Ministry of Health Uganda. The digital version of the tool will enable users to sign into a country-specific dashboard and complete the tool online, while simultaneously providing real-time analytical feedback on 3C preparedness in an intuitive and user-friendly format. World Vision Ireland will pilot the digital tool with the Ministry of Health Uganda later this year and plan to release the full version of the Ebola Vaccine Digital Gap Analysis Tool in November 2020.

Ebola Vaccine Deployment

World Vision Ireland is working alongside the Ministry of Health Uganda to develop a National Communication, Community Engagement and Compliance Management (3C) Strategy for Ebola Vaccine Deployment.

Uganda is a key country for Ebola vaccine deployment preparedness activities due to its history of Ebola outbreaks and close proximity to DRC, a country with ongoing Ebola outbreaks. The National 3C Strategy for Ebola Vaccine Deployment will take into account key contextual issues for Ebola Vaccine deployment within Uganda and promote the success of any future vaccine deployments in the country.
