Assessing the impact of COVID-19 on women and men in Kaduna and Cross River states of Nigeria

The Government of Nigeria declared a partial lockdown in late March 2020 in the states of FCT, Lagos and Abuja, with the lockdown expanding to other states shortly afterwards. Since early June, movement restrictions were relaxed considerably, and businesses reopened gradually following social distancing procedures.
