CARE’s analysis and initiatives puts us in an important position to make changes in how we work as an organization, as well as to contribute to broader social movements and promote the transformation of social and political institutions from the global to international levels.

  • Strengthening Organizational Commitment to Gender Equality

    To strengthen organizational commitment to gender by assessing the workplace environment, training staff on gender equity and diversity, and apply analysis for strategic planning.

  • Programmatic Review and Design

    To reflect upon, assess and strengthen CARE's commitment to gender transformative programming; and

  • Contributing to Broader Change: Advocacy and Movements

    Beyond informing programming and organizational operations, gender analysis and its findings can also include valuable information for broader influencing through advocacy and policy action.

    This is a very new area for CARE, though offices are increasingly harnessing the potential of using CARE’s position to contribute to broader movements for women’s rights and gender equality. For more information on CARE's involvement in Social Movements, watch the GEWV quarterly virtual gathering on "Working (learning) with Movements" and read the CARE International Gender Network (CIGN) position paper on Supporting women's social movements and collective actions.
