The Current Evidence and Guidance Landscape for Identifying and Implementing Priority Interventions
Women’s and Children’s Health in Conflict Settings
14 January 2021
| Publication

Overview
Several new and recently updated resources that are available in the public domain address different aspects of selecting and implementing interventions for women and children within humanitarian settings in general, but conflict-specific guidance is very limited.9 Given the unique challenges of conflict settings (such as the insecurity that often characterizes such settings, with increased risks for those providing and seeking care, mass population displacement, severely disrupted health systems and excessively scarce system inputs), there is a need for specific guidance on addressing WCH needs in conflict settings particularly.
