To generate a policy-relevant gender framework, highlighting the differential impacts of COVID-19 on women and children's nutrition.
Description
1. Develop an evidence-based framework that maps the differential impacts of Covid-19 on women's nutrition outcomes. The main components of the framework are Covid-19-related restrictions that affect family income, health services and schools. The framework will map how these restrictions interact with the underpinning gender power relations to disproportionately affect women's nutrition.
2. This framework will be used to develop policy documents that summarise the gender framework and its implications for evidence-based policy recommendations.
3. The policy documents will be disseminated to global and national funders and policymakers.

Title
Covid-19: Women’s and children’s nutrition
Description
The Micronutrient Forum commits, with the Standing Together for Nutrition Consortium, to generate a policy-relevant gender framework, highlighting the differential impacts of Covid-19 on women's and children's nutrition by 2022. The primary indicator will be the development of a framework with evidence to support advocacy for funding relating to Covid-19 mitigation and recovery. The target audience will be governments, implementing agencies, donors, philanthropic organisations and multilaterals to reach affected populations, particularly women and children.
