A sex and gender-based analysis of access to Vitamin A programmes in four sites in Uganda
REFNo: HS2320ES

The overall objective of the SGBA is to identify gender inequalities and inequities, as well as associated barriers and needs, which affect access and uptake of Vitamin A supplementation programmes. The SGBA will also identify strengths and opportunities and provide recommendations to make VAS programmes more gender responsive.

1. To identify the gender equality issues that influence access to preventative health and nutrition services for child survival, and the quality of services provided.
2. To assess the level of gender mainstreaming in the design of preventative health nutrition services for child survival such as VAS, their implementation and MEAL system and indicators.
3. To identify potential opportunities and enablers and provide recommendations to increase the level of gender responsiveness in preventative health and nutrition services for child survival programming models such as the VAS programme.
4. To explore how COVID-19 affected access to and use of preventative health and nutrition services for child survival programme areas, including VAS programmes, and to provide recommendations for gender-sensitive support to both programme beneficiaries and key services providers and promoters at health facility and community levels.
