Assessment of communication, community engagement and accountability in Colombia and recommendations for response-wide synergy
This study used qualitative methods to generate an understanding about the systems of beliefs, perspectives, and experiences of a diverse sample of actors, as a basis to support a collective CCEA approach in Colombia.
The CDAC Executive Director and Consultant presented the project to the Inter-Cluster Coordination Group, which served as a launching pad for key interviews and to enhance ongoing engagement.
Subsequently, the study applied a semi-structured qualitative interview with 17 respondents, representing in-country CDAC members, international and local NGOs, think tanks, academic institutions and community associations. Interviews were recorded with prior verbal consent, transcribed and then classified using Atlas.ti, in order to produce a hermeneutic analysis of prominent themes related to communications, community engagement and accountability to affected populations (CCEA).
