Covid-19 Learning Series - Practitioner Survey

In 2021, ENN embarked on a COVID-19 Learning Series that aimed to complement existing COVID-19 learning initiatives within the nutrition sector, making full use of our rich network and fora. A key focus of the series was on capturing the field-level experiences of those operating within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. ENN wanted the series to contribute to understanding the impacts of COVID-19 on nutrition issues in local communities as well as the challenges that COVID-19 presents for implementing nutrition services.

This report contains a qualitative synthesis of findings from key informant interviews exploring shifts in the number and demographics of people accessing nutrition services in low- and middle-income countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. We hope these snapshots of different experiences will be interesting and helpful to nutrition practitioners and policy makers wanting to better understand the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on nutrition services/programmes and their uptake.
