The Gender Equality and Women's Voice Guidance

CARE’s 2020 Program Strategy commits CARE, with our partners, to support 150 million people from the most vulnerable and excluded communities. As part of the CARE approach to tackling the drivers of poverty and injustice – along with inclusive governance and increasing resilience – gender equality and women’s voice (GEWV) is central to everything we do as an organization – in both internal organizational practice and of course in our programming.

The purpose of this document is three fold: to provide guidance on supporting gender transformative change with concrete suggestions and examples; to outline minimum standards required of all CARE offices; and lastly to explain how GEWV supports other elements of the Program Strategy. The primary audience for this guidance is a broad range of CARE staff to support deeper integration of GEWV across all of our work, regardless of sectoral focus or functional area.
