In 2020, 12 MSNAs were conducted across 12 crises, globally. The methodology of all 12 exercises included a quantitative, household-level component, with household interviews conducted between June and October 2020. In total, 107,727 households were interviewed.

AAP indicators were included in all 12 assessments, in consultation with humanitarian partners, and in line with the Global Humanitarian Response Plan for COVID-19. AAP is central to risk communication and community engagement strategies; understanding how affected populations access and prefer to receive information can support efforts to dispel misinformation, amplify credible public health guidance, facilitate access to available services and feedback mechanisms, and contribute to overall informed decision-making.
