Update on HTP Module 22
Gender-Responsive Nutrition in Emergencies
GNC Annual Meeting
9th to 11th July 2013
Introduction
There is overwhelming evidence
that gender inequality exacerbates
food insecurity and malnutrition.
─ About 60% of the world’s hungry
people are women and girls,
─ 20% are children under five.
 Women, girls, men and boys face
different risks and vulnerabilities
related to their different nutritional
requirements and socio-cultural
factors.
Therefore
Gender-responsive programming in
humanitarian nutrition response aims
to effectively reach all segments of
the affected population.
This can be achieved by
understanding the gender differences,
inequalities and capacities when
planning humanitarian nutrition
interventions.
Outline of the module
Just like the previous modules, module 22 is composed of
4 parts:- PART 1: FACT SHEET
Provides an overview of gender and nutrition in
emergencies
- PART 2: TECHNICAL NOTES
Illustrates the steps needed for gender-responsive
programming in humanitarian nutrition interventions.
- PART 3: TRAINER’S GUIDE
This is the guidance on how to design a training course and
is linked to the technical notes in part 2.
- PART 4: TRAINING RESOURCE LIST
This part provides a comprehensive list of reference
materials that are relevant to this module
Outline cont…..
The module adapts IASC’s ADAPT and ACT
framework which is composed of 9 key elements:The tool is to be used project staff working at the
sector level to review interventions with a gender
equality lens.
The order of the steps in the framework may vary
from one situation to another.
All the nine steps of the framework should be
taken into account by the implementers
– This ensures that interventions meet the needs and
concerns of women, girls, boys and men in an equal
manner.
Key message in the module
All humanitarian agencies should ensure that
gender perspective is fully integrated into
activities and policies for effective response.
Work to be done
• There is need to develop a summarized
training package for use in the field.
• In some situations, there might be need to
adapt the package to the context of the
programme implementation.

Thinking points
• What are some of the challenges in
implementing gender-responsive emergency
nutrition programmes?
• What can the NCCs and partners do to
effectively address gender in emergency
nutrition programmes?
• What kind of support is needed by NCCs to
reach the Gender Marker target that was set?
“By Dec 2013, all projects (100%) submitted to the CAP
should code 2a or 2b on the IASC Gender Marker.’’
