Participation by conflict-affected and forcibly displaced communities in humanitarian healthcare responses: A systematic review
9 Dec 2020
Community participation in health responses in humanitarian crises is increasingly promoted by humanitarian actors to support adoption of measures that are relevant and effective to local needs. This study aimed to understand the role of community participation in humanitarian health responses for conflict-affected populations (including forcibly displaced populations) in low- and middle-income countries and the barriers and facilitators to community participation in healthcare responses. Using a systematic review methodology, it followed the PRISMA protocol, and searched four bibliographic databases for publications reporting peer-reviewed primary research.
