This workshop will present preliminary findings of the Ebola 100 Study, which is interviewing 500-1000 humanitarian responders, community leaders, and researchers in order to build a “history of the present” of the global Ebola response in Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea. The workshop will focus upon the global capacity for recognizing, supporting, engaging, and directing community-based responses in contexts of crises; and local experiences, leadership, and efforts to protect communities from mortal threats.
