“…The study, guided by a common protocol for case studies conducted by the BRANCH (Bridging Research & Action in Conflict Settings for the Health of Women and Children) Consortium in multiple conflict-affected countries, included a review of documents and datasets reporting RMNCAH + N service coverage and implementation strategies since 2000 and primary data collection in three governorates of Yemen in late 2018 ( Ataullahjan, 2020 ). Broader case study findings are published elsewhere ( Tappis, 2020 #2).…”
