A Rapid Gender Analysis on COVID-19 Nepal 2020

A Rapid Gender Analysis (RGA) to study the gender and intersectional impacts of the COVID-19 crisis was conducted by the Ministry of Women, Children and Senior Citizens, UN Women Nepal, and Care International.

The RGA was conducted using an intersectional approach with primary data collection and analysis from 12 districts representing seven Provinces through key informant interviews. Altogether 465 community members representing 17 targeted vulnerable population groups, as well as government and non-government stakeholders relevant to the COVID-19 response, and policymaking at national, district, and local levels were interviewed. A total of 50 secondary documents using Maxqda software were analyzed from 12 districts from 31 May to 17 June 2020.
