Supporting Health and Economic Well-being of Women for an Inclusive, Sustainable and Equitable Post-COVID-19 Recovery in Guinea

Abstract:

This action-oriented research, led by the consortium of Centre d’Excellence Africain pour la Prévention et le Contrôle des Maladies Transmissibles (CEA-PCMT) of Université Gamal Adbel Nasser de Conakry and the University of Toronto, aims to design and implement strategies that result in centring women’s health and economic well-being in the COVID-19 recovery efforts and future emergency preparedness and response in Guinea. This project aims to analyze the underlying causes of current policy inertia, co-create a gender sensitive multi-sectoral policy framework and work with decision-makers to ensure the COVID-19 recovery and future emergency preparedness and response adopt a gendered approach in design and implementation.

Expected results

Expected results includes:

• Scientific publications and training curriculum for decision-makers.
• Ensuring that institutional actors responsible for preparation, response and recovery from health emergencies proactively include gender-transformative and multi-sector measures in the design and implementation of health and economic policies.
