Product Description

Project Overview

This 24-month research project examines the impact of climate change on women’s access to healthcare, identifying barriers and developing evidence-based solutions.

Objectives

1. Investigate climate change’s effects on women’s access to healthcare services.
2. Identify climate-related barriers to healthcare access (e.g., infrastructure, transportation, financial).
3. Analyze the impact of climate change on women’s health outcomes (e.g., maternal mortality, reproductive health).
4. Develop policy recommendations for climate-resilient healthcare systems.

Methodology

1. Literature review and meta-analysis.
2. Surveys, interviews, and focus groups with women, healthcare providers, and policymakers.
3. Case studies in climate-vulnerable regions.
4. Statistical analysis using regression models.

Expected Outcomes

1. Quantified relationship between climate change and women’s healthcare access.
2. Identification of climate-related barriers and coping mechanisms.
3. Development of climate-informed healthcare guidelines.
4. Policy briefs and recommendations for climate-resilient healthcare systems.

Target Countries/Regions

1. Sub-Saharan Africa (e.g., Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania).
2. South Asia (e.g., Bangladesh, India, Pakistan).
3. Latin America (e.g., Brazil, Mexico).
