Americas Asia and Oceania 8 9 ANNUAL REPORT 2015/16 THANK YOU CARE Australia continues to serve the poorest communities in the world, positively affecting the lives of 2.8 million people © Josh Estey/CARE living in poverty this year. In our work to address inequalities, which most often impact women and girls, we work with Colin Galbraith, AM entire communities to enable them to prosper and meet the needs they identify. We know Chair CARE Australia that every woman who has the opportunity to overcome poverty has a multiplying impact, through enabling her children and family to lead healthier, more productive lives and by contributing to the prosperity and happiness of their communities. Maximising our impact was more important than ever this year, as we faced a daunting complexity of challenges. War and natural disaster have ruined people’s lives, with more people fleeing their homes and villages to escape conflict than we have seen in modern history. A powerful El Nino weather pattern also devastated crops and surged market prices in Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu and around the world. I thank all those who work with CARE Australia and our supporters for helping us rise to these challenges and continue to help millions of people in need. I would like to thank outgoing Chief Executive Julia Newton-Howes for her role in making this work possible. Over nearly nine years, Julia made an outstanding contribution to CARE Thank you Australia, CARE International and the many communities that have benefitted from CARE’s work. Her approach has been marked by unfailing industry, energy and passion, and I wish her well for the next chapter of her career. Outgoing Chief Executive Dr Julia Newton-Howes. I am confident we will continue our work as an effective humanitarian aid organisation with the appointment of Sally Moyle, one of Australia’s leading thinkers and influencers in international development, as Chief Executive. Sally has extensive experience in international development policy and practice, and almost twenty years’ experience This year, I made the incredibly hard decision to resign addressing gender issues. She has held senior positions working to address issues of social justice, human rights, women’s affairs, disability services and indigenous affairs. as Chief Executive of CARE Australia. I look forward to working with Sally, CARE’s staff and our supporters to achieve our vision for a more equal world, a world where poverty has been overcome. It has been an honour to hold this with knee-deep mud. The situation was ourselves, and our representatives position, and I am gratified by what dire, but we were able to help this woman in government, of the opportunity we have achieved together since I and thousands of others by providing vital we have to help the world’s poorest took up this role in October 2007. services to improve hygiene and nutrition. people. By doing this, we help to create a safer, more prosperous I am proud to work with CARE Australia to shine a light on When I think back over the areas of I’m humbled by the response from our world in which everyone can flourish, progress, our work supporting gender donors when we ask for assistance to including Australians.

    Media Release Embargoed until 26 December 2014 BOXING DAY TSUNAMI 10TH ANNIVERSARY: MESSAGE OF THANKS FROM TSUNAMI SURVIVORS TO BE DELIVERED AT BOXING DAY TEST As the world marks 10 years since the devastating Boxing Day tsunami, international aid organisation CARE Australia is joining forces with Cricket Cares to say thanks to Australians for responding to one of the biggest natural disasters in history. 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.

  • 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.
