Goal action plan
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-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 for global and national funders and policy-makers.
