Knowledge to Action Briefs

These seven knowledge-to-action briefs support partners to carry forward the PMNCH Call to Action on COVID-19, which aims to increase investment and policy support to mitigate the devastating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the health of women, children and adolescents, and the societies and economies that support them. The knowledge-to-action briefs synthesize relevant evidence to the COVID-19 Call to Action, focusing on:

  1. key impacts of COVID-19;
  2. policies and mitigation strategies; and
  3. strategic gaps in knowledge and action, including in humanitarian and fragile settings.
