In crisis situations
• In crisis situations, mainstreaming a gender focus from the outset:– allows for a more accurate understanding of the situation;– enables us to meet the needs and priorities of the population in a
more targeted manner, based on how women, girls, boys and men have been affected by the crisis;
– ensures that all people affected by a crisis are acknowledged and that all their needs and vulnerabilities are taken into account; and
– facilitates the design of more appropriate and effective responses.
1: Gender analysis
• Analyse the particular nutritional vulnerabilities of boys and, on that basis, take the adequate corrective measures
• - are there are gender differences?
2: SADD
• Disaggregate by sex the number of aid beneficiaries, recruited community mediators and care personnel targeted for training
3: Involvement of fathers?
• Ensure that fathers and mothers are equally targeted by food education activities. The engagement of fathers in taking care of malnutrition cases needs to be encouraged
4: Consult women
• Systematically consult women in order to identify with them the opening hours and days that are most convenient to them
5: Gender balance
• Ensure that care teams and community mediators consist of an equal number of women and men.
Gender Marker

blind, 1 – limited consideration of gender, 2a/b – significant consideration of gender)
