During pandemics such as the COVID-19 pandemic, access to resources can be disrupted. It is essential for nutrition cluster/sector coordination teams to support resource mobilisation to ensure that partners are able to access funds and supplies to implement and expand nutrition programmes. This module explores the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on resources and recommended actions for ensuring access to required funds and supplies. It also considers how the response to the pandemic can inform responses to any future pandemics.
