Description
CARE believes that water and sanitation services at domestic and institutional levels, and access to hygiene knowledge and products, underpins dignity, health and well-being for all -but is particularly important for women and girls and marginalized groups, and during humanitarian emergencies. We will ensure sustainable services through strategies that include strengthening WASH governance, policy, and monitoring at national, district, and community levels; strengthening capacities of service providers, including small-medium enterprises and entrepreneurs to deliver services; facilitating WASH demand and addressing social and gender norms that influence WASH behaviors, including menstrual hygiene management; and increasing leadership of women, girls, and the most marginalized in WASH decision-making.

Title
Improving Nutrition Approaches
Description
Improving nutrition must happen through local structures or collectives, such as care or savings groups, and integrated approaches. This commitment will focus on both nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive approaches. By focusing on these two approaches, we will directly affect nutrition for women and children, support dietary diversity, and promote positive nutrition practices. CARE also focuses on male engagement and sectoral interventions such as homestead food production, improved WASH access and agriculture and natural resource management practices and models that prioritize nutrition outcomes. Building on successes, we will build stronger service delivery and coordination systems across stakeholder platforms that improve access and delivery of quality health, agriculture, water, climate, and education services, for improved nutrition.
