Description
CARE is an international relief and development organization that operates in more than 70 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and Eastern Europe.
CARE International’s mission is to serve individuals and families in the poorest communities in the world. To fulfil this mission, CARE International pursues four inter-connected lines of activity:
- Development and rehabilitation programming, that addresses the underlying causes of poverty and social injustice
- Emergency response programming, that provides rapid and effective support to victims of disasters
- Influencing policy development and implementation at all levels to make significant positive changes in the lives of poor people and communities
- Building diverse constituencies that support CARE International’s vision and mission in all countries where it works.
Projects
Within its natural resources management (NRM) sector CARE has around 35 projects and programmes in 25 different countries which are focused on promoting sustainable NRM and conservation with social justice and equity. As with other programming sectors CARE applies a rights-based approach to which addresses the underlying causes of poverty, environmental degradation and loss of biodiversity through focusing on issues of governance and underlying power relationships.
