It is a process to collect community data (questions, concerns or rumors heard) in a semi-structured way to allow any topics to surface without leading the discussion towards a desired outcome. All Rumor Tracking projects involve a feedback loop: the data is collected, analyzed to understand the fears and hopes behind those rumors, and actionable information that addresses the concerns is shared back with the community. While Rumor Tracking is a methodology, it consists of a few basic tools: opened ended questionnaires, a spreadsheet or database, a strong involvement of the affected population, and using the most trusted and accessible mechanisms for sharing information back to the community, such as radio programs, narrowcasting, listening groups, SMS hotlines, bulletins etc..LOGISTICSThis consultancy is based remotely in Indore, India.This consultancy is expected to start in late February/early March 2022 and end in June 2022.
