Prompted by the need to build programme designs that address the intersecting and diverse realities of young men and boys, the Mardon Wali Baat programme undertook a research study to document and analyse the impact of COVID-19 on 17 development organisations engaging young men and boys on issues of gender, livelihoods, health, education and WASH in Uttar Pradesh. This was followed up with a consultation anchored by TYPF, attended by 15 organisations working on diverse themes of gender, livelihoods, health, education and WASH with young men and boys in Uttar Pradesh. The following reports detail the findings of the research and the recommendations arrived at through the consultation to improve programming for engaging with young men and boys in the context of crises and disasters such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
