  1. Update on HTP Module 22 Gender-Responsive Nutrition in Emergencies GNC Annual Meeting 9th to 11th July 2013

  2. Introduction • There is overwhelming evidence that gender inequality exacerbates food insecurity and malnutrition. • About 60% of the world’s hungry people are women and girls, • 20% are children under five. • Women, girls, men and boys face different risks and vulnerabilities related to their different nutritional requirements and socio-cultural factors.

  3. Therefore • Gender-responsive programming in humanitarian nutrition response aims to effectively reach all segments of the affected population. • This can be achieved by understanding the gender differences, inequalities and capacities when planning humanitarian nutrition interventions.

  4. Outline of the module Just like the previous modules, module 22 is composed of 4 parts:- - PART 1: FACT SHEET Provides an overview of gender and nutrition in emergencies - PART 2: TECHNICAL NOTES Illustrates the steps needed for gender-responsive programming in humanitarian nutrition interventions. - PART 3: TRAINER’S GUIDE This is the guidance on how to design a training course and is linked to the technical notes in part 2. - PART 4: TRAINING RESOURCE LIST This part provides a comprehensive list of reference materials that are relevant to this module

  5. Outline cont….. The module adapts IASC’s ADAPT and ACT framework which is composed of 9 key elements:- • The tool is to be used project staff working at the sector level to reviewinterventions with a gender equality lens. • The order of the steps in the framework may vary from one situationto another. • All the nine steps of the framework should be taken into account by the implementers • This ensures that interventions meet theneeds and concerns of women, girls, boys and men in an equal manner.

  6. Key message in the module • All humanitarian agencies should ensure that gender perspective is fully integrated into activities and policies for effective response.

  7. Work to be done • There is need to develop a summarized training package for use in the field. • In some situations, there might be need to adapt the package to the context of the programme implementation.

  9. Thinking points • What are some of the challenges in implementing gender-responsive emergency nutrition programmes? • What can the NCCs and partners do to effectively address gender in emergency nutrition programmes? • What kind of support is needed by NCCs to reach the Gender Marker target that was set? “By Dec 2013, all projects (100%) submitted to the CAP should code 2a or 2b on the IASC Gender Marker.’’
