Framework to support the sustainability of community protection for mpox prevention and control

Overview

This document sets out a high-level framework to maintain the key functions for mpox community protection through ongoing emergency response, and to support the implementation of WHO’s Strategic framework for prevention and control of mpox: 2024–2027. These functions include risk communication and community engagement (RCCE); infodemic management; investing in community capacities, including civil society, health workers and local actors; the context-sensitive implementation of population and environmental interventions; and taking into consideration the social and economic determinants that shape vulnerability and responses.
