CARE works to defeat poverty, operates in more than 100 countries, and reached 53 million people last year.
CARE’s Economic Growth team brings businesses and local organizations together to create lasting solutions for development. Our work connects the private sector with public and community partners, ensuring markets benefit everyone. By focusing on practical, market-driven approaches, we help businesses and development efforts work hand in hand to build stronger, more sustainable futures for all.
CARE’s Economic Growth programs deliver the greatest economic return for people per dollar invested – with a particular focus on women and girls. We believe that when women control economic resources, they will transform their lives and communities. CARE’s Economic Growth team uses partnerships, tests business models, and works with markets to solve development and humanitarian challenges for the long term and the greatest number of people. Our programs help people gain money, skills, and access markets to improve their prosperity and economic resilience.
Our approach is guided by our belief that investment must deliver a strong multiplier effect to have the greatest economic impact.
Our economic, financial, and commercial programs are designed to maximize economic impact per dollar of donor investment.
Delivering these results requires a central focus on shifting norms around financial decision-making authority, equal markets, and access to investment and capital.
