CARE INTERNATIONAL - ANNUAL REPORT FY17 9 THE CARE APPROACH For over 70 years, CARE has been fighting poverty and providing emergency humanitarian relief in times of crisis. We aim to tackle the underlying causes of poverty and social injustice to bring lasting change to the lives of poor and vulnerable people, leaving them better prepared to face the future. Three key themes run through all of our work: Strengthening gender equality Increasing resilience and women’s voice While we are quick to respond when disaster Women and girls are disproportionately affected strikes, we also focus on strengthening the by poverty – but also hold the key to overcoming capacity of poor people to absorb shocks.

We put empowering women and girls at If we do not address this, then we will be facing the centre of what we do, providing opportunities a growing number of humanitarian crises in future for their advancement and ensuring their voices as climate change continues to affect the poorest, are heard. A crucial part of this is involving men displace communities and destabilize societies. Our and boys in addressing inequality, and valuing and aim is to build resilience into all our programmes. supporting women and girls.

The Thanks for Caring Australia campaign, which is supported by Australian Cricket Captain Michael Clarke, kicks off during the afternoon tea break at the Commonwealth Bank Boxing Day Test. As part of the campaign, hundreds of volunteers will deliver a special message of thanks from tsunami survivors that CARE helped with Australia’s support. People not at the MCG will be able to see the message at www.care.org.au/thanks and share it with the hashtag #thanksforcaring. Australians responded with outstanding generosity to the Boxing Day tsunami, donating more per person than anywhere else in the world. CARE Australia raised more than $42 million from Australians to support its Tsunami Response Program, which helped more than 1.3 million people across five countries – India, Indonesia (Aceh), Somalia, Sri Lanka and Thailand. From 2004 to 2011, CARE delivered food, water, healthcare, temporary shelter, rebuilt homes, water wells, toilets, schools and health centres, and helped families restart small businesses and rebuild their lives. Governor‐General and Patron of CARE Australia, Sir Peter Cosgrove said the 10 year anniversary of the Boxing Day tsunami was an important moment to recognise how Australians came together at a time of extraordinary need for our region.

  • CARE Bangladesh
    CARE Bangladesh Terms of Reference (TOR) Consultancy to deploy an innovative and technologically advanced SBCC tool to influence the behaviour of targeted communities for JANO project funded by EU Purpose of the Terms of Reference: The purpose of this contract is to detail the Terms of Reference (ToR) for deploying an innovative, low-cost technology to influence key behaviours that impact the most vulnerable pregnant and lactating mothers, children under 5 years of age, adolescents and other specific stakeholders of the project. Project Background: Joint Action for Nutrition Outcomes (JANO) is a five-year project, funded by the European Union (EU), with co-funding from the Austrian Development Agency (ADA), which started its operations from September 2018. JANO will replicate proven best practices, and take to scale innovative local governance models for better nutrition. The project will work with the Government of Bangladesh (GoB) at the national, regional and local levels, to support the effective implementation of the National Plan of Action for Nutrition (NPAN). The NPAN provides the strategic vision for Bangladesh to achieve nutritional security, where all relevant ministries are compelled to support the initiative, which reports directly to the Prime Minister’s office. JANO will work at multiple levels of government, specifically with the Nutrition Committees at the district, upazila and union levels – building their capacity for them to better develop nutritional programmes, implement and budget for these programmes, and to provide effective oversight in its implementation. The NPAN calls for a multi-sectoral approach. JANO embraces this concept and will work with the NPAN Steering Committee to develop operational guidelines of how best this can be achieved.

  • Priorities for the 2021 Federal Budget Executive Summary
    Priorities for the 2021 Federal Budget In this submission CARE Australia1 proposes that the Federal Budget increase resources for Australia’s development and humanitarian aid in Asia and the Pacific, in recognition of the significant and multi-faceted challenges facing the region. Crucially, this submission recommends the prioritisation of gender equality and locally-led activities as the most effective and efficient methods for achieving Australia’s development and humanitarian objectives. Executive Summary The impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic has only exacerbated and compounded the ongoing development needs in the region. Asia and the Pacific remains the world’s most disaster-prone region, at risk from both sudden and slow-onset disasters.2 Changes in climate are increasing death, injury and ill-health; risk of food insecurity and the breakdown of food systems, particularly for poorer populations; and the loss of rural livelihoods due to increased clean water scarcity.3 Lack of gender equality is a significant issue in the response to and management of climate related changes — including humanitarian disasters — across Asia and the Pacific. These shortcomings lead to greater risk of death and injury for women and children during disasters and their aftermath,4 but can be addressed through how Australia chooses to prioritise the expenditure of Official Development Assistance. Gender inequality is a key driver of poverty and one of the most widespread forms of injustice in the world. By supporting women and girls, and addressing gender inequalities, the root causes of poverty can be addressed, and human rights realised. Greater gender equality is strongly correlated with greater peace and stability, as well as delivering stronger economic growth and prosperity.
