CARE’s vision makes fighting discrimination, promoting empowerment and dignity, and respecting human rights central to our work of eliminating poverty.CARE’s work to advance gender equity and diversity (GED) seeks to ensure that we need to uphold these principles both within the organization and within our programs. CARE’s diversity training curriculum aims to build skills within ourselves and within the organization, to deepen our sensitivity to power dynamics, to value differences, and to learn how to utilize the rich diversity within CARE. The ultimate goal is to enhance our effectiveness as a relief and development organization.

Why Promote Gender Equity and Diversity?
Our success in advancing quality programming depends on our ability to harness and apply the talents of our staff within an environment of respect, trust, and value for the contribution of all. Understanding and appreciating GED internally is a process to create these conditions.
based on our programming results, build broader constituencies for our work engaging more creatively in partnerships; and building closer ties to social movements.
In the third global GED conference in Bangkok (May 6-10, 2007), we have gathered here to take stock of what we have achieved so far, and identify the next level of commitment to deepen and advance this work further. This next level of commitment takes us into unexplored but important territory and will require us to define new meanings and pathways for CARE’s GED journey beyond 2007.
