USAID’s Framework for assessing the interaction between Covid-19 and nutritional health

I’m getting caught up on reports this week.  Here’s one from the US Agency for International Development:  COVID-19 and Nutrition Analytical Framework

The purpose of the Framework:

  • Allow policymakers and implementers to better track the interaction of the COVID-19 pandemic and nutrition
  • Provide a tool for planning policies, programs, and interventions
  • Help identify data gaps
  • Support a systems approach to addressing problems “caused, increased, or intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic”

The Framework:

What I like about this Framework is how it so clearly identifies the upstream system levels of intervention: food, health, social, education, and infrastructure.

It’s also interactive, but for that you have to go to its source and click on each section.
