This case study provides an example of how address the impact of the pandemic on livelihoods, the CVA tool has been used to target families most affected by the effects of the pandemic. The focus was on the districts of Banjul, Kanifing Municipality and West Coast Region. Considering women are more likely to be hardest hit economically by Covid-19 since they are usually more engaged in low-paid, insecure jobs and the informal economy, a gender lens has been applied in the concrete design and implementation of this programme. 

One of the activities aimed to support the needs of 350 highly vulnerable families affected by the pandemic emergency restriction measures, by improving their access to food and essential needs (including livelihoods), in coordination with the main stakeholders and government institutions.
