This Policy Dialogue explores the gender-differentiated impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on men and women in rural areas of selected countries in sub-Saharan Africa and examines the extent to which policy responses address the unique challenges faced by women and men. Key findings, lessons, and recommendations drawing on phone survey data and policy analyses conducted in Ethiopia, Kenya, Niger, Rwanda, Senegal, Uganda, and Zambia will be shared.
