Diarrheal Disease Messaging

This message map from the DefeatDD.org website provides talking points to help advocates and educators communicate the problem of diarrhoeal disease - and suggested solutions - to civic and government leaders, policymakers, donors, and other stakeholders. The website suggest customising the messages for the audience and context of a presentation - using them in presentations, meetings, policy briefs, or stories on child health, as well as adding them to everyday conversation to help others understand working together to overcome diarrhoeal disease.

From the document: "PATH developed these messages for use by anyone interested in communicating the impact of diarrhea on the health and development of children and families around the world. Perhaps more importantly, it is also a guide to communicating the value of a coordinated approach to diarrheal disease control and the proven, cost effective solutions available today to save lives."

A list of messages follows on the following topics:

• Burden
• Child Survival
• Solutions
• Results
• Resource Allocation
