CARE and the Sustainable Development Goals 2023

April 11, 2023

Since 2015, CARE has been tracking impact metrics in line with the Sustainable Development Goals. In 2021, CARE shifted to 30 impact indicators for CARE’s Vision 2030, still aligned with the SDGs. The SDGs represent a collective, global commitment to a transformed world. It is only right that an organization like CARE also be accountable to demonstrating how its work contributes to these shared goals toward this collective vision. Between 2015 and 2022 CARE and our partners have contributed to global change for 180 million people in 82 countries. We use the word “contributions” deliberately: in all our work, change happens through the combined efforts of many different actors, including civil society and movements, governments, and the private sector. Our programs are just some of the contributing factors that lead to these impacts and outcomes.

CARE USA 2022 Annual Report

April 3, 2023

In 2022, CARE worked in 111 countries, reaching 174 million people through more than 1,600 programs. Thanks to our supporters, CARE was able to respond to some of the greatest humanitarian challenges since our founding. We've assisted Ukrainian refugees fleeing into Poland and other neighboring countries. The war in Ukraine, combined with climate shifts and economic fallout caused by COVID, exacerbated the global hunger crisis. In response, we launched a $250 million comprehensive emergency response that delivered critical food aid and treatment for severe malnutrition while helping families build longer-term plans to withstand future shocks.

Women at the Last Mile

By Anushka Kalyanpur · June 14, 2022

How investments in gender equality have kept health systems running during COVID-19 Even before COVID-19, investments in health systems—and especially female health workers—were too low. In 2019 the world had a gap of 18 million health workers. Two years and 15 million deaths later, we have at least 26 million fewer health workers than we need. This leaves us severely unprepared for future pandemics and other major shocks to the health system, including conflict and climate change. We must invest in health systems that don’t just meet the needs of today, but that are also resilient in the face of future shocks. Pandemic preparedness requires gender equality: equal recognition, support, and fair pay for ALL health workers. Globally, 70% of health workers are women, but half of their work is unpaid. We must do more to support these health workers. The glimmers of success in COVID-19 built on previous investments in women health workers, their skills, and equality in health systems. Pre-existing investments in equality helped systems respond to COVID-19. Increased investments will build better resilience for the crises that come next.

Vaccine Hesitancy and Vaccine Access in Tanzania with Community Health Workers

April 27, 2022

Since September 2021, CARE Tanzania has worked as a partner to the Government of Tanzania to improve vaccine access across the country. CARE’s logistical support has helped the government to cover large, underserved geographical areas. To increase vaccine uptake, CARE staff has also engaged local Community Health Workers (CHWs) to address vaccination misconceptions and developed improved health communication and data management tools. With these new resources, these health workers on the front lines have put in place two new strategies. First, COVID-19 vaccination is now integrated with other basic health services at local facilities. Second, the CHWs are now conducting targeted outreach informed by local concerns to address vaccine hesitancy in women and children. Now, not only are vaccinations being provided, CHWs have confirmed that women have increased their acceptance of vaccination shots.

Improving Support for Delaying Early Childbearing Among Newly Married Adolescent Girls

By Dr. Ghazaleh Samandari · April 15, 2022

Each year around the world, almost 13 million girls under the age of 20 give birth, and nearly 1 million of whom are younger than 15. Child marriage is a strong indicator of early birth; 90% of adolescent pregnancies in the developing world are to girls who are already married; and married adolescents are more likely to experience frequent and early pregnancies than their unmarried peers. A number of factors influence married adolescent girls’ ability to delay early childbearing. This qualitative evaluation examines if and how key participants and stakeholders in across communities in Niger and Bangladesh are experiencing change in attitudes and behaviors around delaying early adolescent childbirth stemming from the IMAGINE intervention.
