The Knowledge Hub brings together existing knowledge, guidance, tools, and other useful resources related to women’s nutrition, maternal nutrition, and evidence-based interventions targeting women, such as prenatal multiple micronutrient supplementation (MMS).
The Knowledge Hub is a dynamic, publicly accessible repository. It will be expanded and further improved over time, and we ask for your help in this. Please share any resources that you believe should be included in this Knowledge Hub, and send them to [email protected].

This policy brief highlights the disproportionate impact of humanitarian crises on women and girls, particularly their nutrition status, which has potential consequences for future generations as antenatal, postnatal, and obstetric care services are disrupted. The brief recommends that critical interventions to address micronutrient deficiencies (MND) of women and girls such as multiple micronutrient supplementation (MMS) be made available and added to the package of health and social protection systems, and MMS be added to national essential medicines lists. To effectively address MNDs in humanitarian emergencies, this policy brief calls for global stakeholders and national governments to improve micronutrient data collection, develop, and strengthen national protocols/guidelines, and increase coordination and funding for MMS programming in humanitarian contexts.
