By CARE Water Team · April 1, 2024

CARE’s Water+ 2023 Retrospective Report highlights a selection of programs demonstrating WASH systems strengthening approaches – and CARE’s work across the globe to strengthen conditions and capacities for governance, accountability, investment, monitoring, learning and social inclusion. This report includes seven briefs covering some of CARE's Water+ work in Ethiopia, Ghana, Guatemala, Madagascar, Rwanda, South Sudan and Zambia in 2023.

CARE 2023 Annual Report

March 8, 2024

The global crises we faced in 2023 left us with little time to catch our breath. Earthquakes, floods, cyclones, and droughts dominated the year, accentuated by the ongoing effects of climate change and the humanitarian toll of conflict. This year saw a record-high number refugees – more than 100 million – as ongoing conflict in Ukraine continues to devastate food systems worldwide. Through it all, CARE has been there, as we have been for 78 years: working hand-in-hand with communities to bring relief and hope, supporting women and girls because they are disproportionally poor and have the greatest leverage to defeat poverty.

Learning Brief

Climate information services in Ethiopia – A key resilience capacity for households & businesses

January 15, 2024

Climate change is wreaking havoc on livelihoods and food security outcomes in the lowlands of Ethiopia. Timely access to climate information services (CIS) can play a key role in enabling producers to manage their livelihoods in the face of uncertainty and mitigate the impact of shocks, but these systems are largely absent in the lowlands. This learning brief describes how CARE International, through the Mercy Corps-led RIPA-North program, is working to foster locally driven services for climate and early warning information. The brief highlights the impact this is having in terms of household-level decision-making and also the challenges of achieving long-term sustainability of these systems.

Breaking the Silence: The 10 most under-reported humanitarian crises of 2023

January 11, 2024

For the eighth year in a row, CARE has produced a report on the 10 most under-reported humanitarian crises of 2023. For the second year in a row, all ten of the most under-reported crises are in Africa. From conflict in Angola to climate change in Zimbabwe, every entry in this report represents countless human tragedies taking place in the shadows of the world's gaze. In a world where news cycles are becoming more short-lived, it is more important than ever that we collectively remember that every crisis, whether forgotten or not, brings with it a human toll.
