Women and girls are the agents of change. They hone the power to elevate poverty cycle and lead lasting change. Globally and nationally, CARE works to empower women by protecting them from injustices and exploitation, and ensuring their rights to choose and opportunity. CARE’s focus on women and girls is based on the premise that providing education and creating enabling environment transforms everyone’s lives which reflects in national economic growth.
CARE’s vision is about the change we want to see in the world. This vision serves as a guiding light for all entities in CARE to work collectively as we strive for a world where all people live in dignity and security. Thousands of CARE staff and stakeholders around the world contribute following rigorous processes by remaining true to CARE’s principles of diversity and outlined the idea and inspiration of what we want to jointly achieve. This is a vision, outlining our collective ambitions, and not a strategy. The components consist of the main ambitions of the impact we would like to see, the organizational identity we need to embrace and the resource considerations required to accomplish this vision. The three areas ‘impact’, ‘organization’ and ‘resources’, are interdependent elements that will lead us to our goal. We found ourselves in the global COVID-19 pandemic in the middle of the process for Vision 2030, but our work has now become more relevant than ever. The legacy of the CARE package is enriched by years of evidence-based approaches on humanitarian aid, development and social justice. CARE Vision 2030 builds on this learning and consequently, we have put gender in the center. Through a set of agreed goals based on SDGs, employing a theory of change derived from our years of experience, and proper utilization of resources, we will systematically move towards the fulfilling the vision collectively.
