Resumo(s)
Purpose – The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of community-based and driven approaches
during the lockdowns and early periods of the pandemic. The study examines the impact and perceptions of the
state-led intervention. This would help to discover a better approach for postpandemic interventions and policy
responses.
Design/methodology/approach – This article used the inductive method and gathered its data from
surveys. In search of global opinions on COVID-19 responses received in communities, two countries in each
continent with high COVID-19 infection per 100,000 during the peak period were chosen for study. In total, 13
community workers, leaders and members per continent were sampled. The simple percentile method was
chosen for analysis. The simple interpretation was used to discuss the results.
Findings – The study showed that poor publicity of community-based interventions affected awareness and
fame as most were mistaken for government interventions. The study found that most respondents preferred
state interventions but preferred many communities or local assessments of projects and interventions while
the projects were ongoing to adjust the project and intervention as they progressed. However, many preferred
community-based and driven interventions.
Research limitations/implications – State secrecy and perceived opposition oppression limited data
sourcing for this study in countries where state interventions are performed in secret and oppression of
perceived opposition voices limited data collection in some countries. Thus, last-minute changes were made to
gather data from countries on the same continent. An intercontinental study requires data from more countries,
which would require more time and resources. This study was affected by access to locals in remote areas
where raw data would have benefited the study. Practical implications – The absence of data from the two most populous countries due to government
censorship limits access to over a third of the global population, as they make up 2.8 out of 7 billion.
Social implications – The choice of two countries in each continent is representational enough, yet the
absence of data from the two most populous countries creates a social identity gap.
Originality/value – The survey collected unique and genuine data and presents novel results. Thus, this
study provides an important contribution to the literature on the subject. There is a need for maximum support
for community-based interventions and projects as well as global data collection on community-based or driven
interventions and projects.
