Emergency response is a core part of CARE’s mandate and CARE India responds to major disasters by providing humanitarian aid and rehabilitation interventions. Core areas of focus in emergency response are food security and livelihoods, shelter, water, sanitation & hygiene promotion and sexual & reproductive health. In the wake of disasters (such as tsunamis, earthquakes, cyclones and floods) thousands are displaced and rendered homeless. The need for shelter becomes of utmost importance for the disaster affected people, without which they are exposed to numerous life-threatening risks. Women and children are the worst sufferers and require special attention. For CARE India shelter is not just a structure. It is a space that provides security, privacy and a sense of dignity. CARE India has been responding to shelter needs of disaster affected people both in the immediate aftermath of a disaster as well as during the early recovery phase.

  • Getting It Right from the Start Priorities for Action in the New Republic of South Sudan
    Joint Briefing Paper 06 September 2011 Getting it Right from the Start Priorities for Action in the New Republic of South Sudan This report presents the views of 38 aid agencies working on peace-building, development, and humanitarian assistance in South Sudan. EMBARGOED UNTIL 06 SEPTEMBER 2011 Girl getting water in Rumbek, 2010. © Carolyn Gluck for Oxfam. Amidst jubilant celebration, the new Republic of South Sudan entered the international stage in July 2011 albeit as one of the least developed countries in the world. The challenges and opportunities are enormous, and donors, the government, implementing agencies and most importantly the people of South Sudan have a lot at stake – but much more to gain. This paper presents ten areas for action based on the experience of NGOs operating in South Sudan and lessons learnt during the Comprehensive Peace Agreement interim period. Donors must prioritise them in the first years of the country‟s independence so as to ensure the best possible results for the people of South Sudan. 2 Summary Amidst jubilant celebration in July 2011, the new Republic of South Sudan entered the international stage albeit as one of the least developed countries in the world. One in eight children die before their fifth birthday, the maternal mortality rate is one of the highest in the world and more than half the population lives below the poverty line. Against a backdrop of chronic under-development, the country is acutely vulnerable to recurring conflict and climatic shocks. More than 220,000 people were displaced last year due to conflict and more than 100,000 were affected by floods; and already this year, fighting in the disputed border areas, clashes between the Sudan People‟s Liberation Army (SPLA) and militia groups, disputes over land and cattle, and attacks by the Lord‟s Resistance Army, have forced nearly 300,000 people from their homes.

  • Global Rapid Gender Analysis for Covid-19
    CARE + IRC Global RGA for COVID-19 GLOBAL RAPID GENDER ANALYSIS FOR COVID-19 CARE + IRC Global RGA for COVID-19 Executive Summary On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organisation classified COVID-19 as a pandemic.1 Disease outbreaks affect women, girls, men, boys, and persons of all genders differently, to say nothing of the wide variety of at-risk and marginalised groups. The compounding complexities of development and humanitarian contexts can have disproportionate effects on women and girls, as well as those at-risk and vulnerable groups. CARE International identified the need to highlight the gender and intersectional impacts of the COVID-19 crisis. To achieve this, CARE first developed a policy brief to review lessons learned from previous public health emergencies.2 CARE then adapted its Rapid Gender Analysis toolkit to develop the Global Rapid Gender Analysis on COVID-19, conducted in consultation with the International Rescue Committee (IRC). This report is for humanitarians working in fragile contexts that are likely to be affected by the COVID-19 crisis. It is organised around broad themes and areas of focus of particular importance to those whose programming advances gender equality and reduces gender inequalities. It seeks to deepen the current gender analysis available by encompassing learning from global gender data available for the COVID-19 public health emergency. Key Findings on the Gender Impacts of the COVID-19 Crisis Include: Demographic data: While data about the gender and age impacts of COVID-19 is emerging, it is incomplete. COVID-19 shows greater direct risks for people over 60, as well as those with underlying medical conditions.
