Integrating Health & Climate Justice for a Resilient Future: a Program Brief

March 15, 2024

Climate change is projected to lead to 250,000 more deaths annually from 2030 to 2050 due to malnutrition, malaria, diarrhea, and heat stress. Low-income countries and marginalized groups like women, children, migrants, ethnic minorities, older people, and those with health issues are most vulnerable to these climate-related health risks.

Community Health Worker Programs: Gaps and Solutions

March 13, 2024

A CARE multi-country study analyzing government-supported community health worker programs in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Nigeria and the United States using the CHW Assessment and Improvement Matrix (AIM) found that insufficient funding of these programs affects remuneration and other incentives for community health workers but also leads to inadequate resources for training, data collection, and equipment and supplies. This negatively impacts community health workers’ motivation, retention, and recognition and, in general, poses major barriers to achieving Universal health coverage and the Sustainable Development Goals. Governments must step their support and investment in community health workers, properly integrate them into health systems and ensure a broader enabling environment for them to unleash their full potential.

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.

CARE and the Sustainable Development Goals 2023

April 11, 2023

Since 2015, CARE has been tracking impact metrics in line with the Sustainable Development Goals. In 2021, CARE shifted to 30 impact indicators for CARE’s Vision 2030, still aligned with the SDGs. The SDGs represent a collective, global commitment to a transformed world. It is only right that an organization like CARE also be accountable to demonstrating how its work contributes to these shared goals toward this collective vision. Between 2015 and 2022 CARE and our partners have contributed to global change for 180 million people in 82 countries. We use the word “contributions” deliberately: in all our work, change happens through the combined efforts of many different actors, including civil society and movements, governments, and the private sector. Our programs are just some of the contributing factors that lead to these impacts and outcomes.

CARE USA 2022 Annual Report

April 3, 2023

In 2022, CARE worked in 111 countries, reaching 174 million people through more than 1,600 programs. Thanks to our supporters, CARE was able to respond to some of the greatest humanitarian challenges since our founding. We've assisted Ukrainian refugees fleeing into Poland and other neighboring countries. The war in Ukraine, combined with climate shifts and economic fallout caused by COVID, exacerbated the global hunger crisis. In response, we launched a $250 million comprehensive emergency response that delivered critical food aid and treatment for severe malnutrition while helping families build longer-term plans to withstand future shocks.
