CARE International in Kenya Strategy for 2024-2030 shines as a bold manifesto for change. This groundbreaking blueprint promises to redefine empowerment for 5.5 million Kenyans, setting a new global standard for humanitarian and development efforts. It is a declaration of war against inequality and a vow to anchor development through the three program pillars of Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment (GEWE), FWNS, and Humanitarian and Emergency Response. This strategy is a testament to the power of local leadership and collaborative innovation, offering a new model for engaging with the world's most pressing challenges.
"By leveraging cutting-edge technology and harnessing the collective expertise of our team, partners, and communities, we are confident that this strategy will not only meet but exceed the evolving needs and expectations of our beneficiaries," said Leah Kaguara, Country Director of CARE Kenya, underscoring the strategic commitment to innovation and excellence.
Crafted through extensive stakeholder engagement, this strategy is a masterclass in rights-based, gender-transformative approaches. It is a firm belief in the strategy's DNA that sustainable change is birthed from the grassroots, nurtured by the very communities it aims to uplift. This is not merely about project implementation; it is about cultivating an ecosystem where local voices dictate the pace of progress and innovation.
Central to this strategic blueprint, the strategy boldly envisions a future where gender equality and climate resilience are not mere aspirations but tangible realities. It commits to elevating the voices of women and girls, ensuring they play a central role in shaping their futures. "This strategy represents a beacon of hope and CARE Kenya's unwavering commitment to empowering women and girls across Kenya," remarked Dr. Josephine Obonyo, representing Hon. Aisha Jumwa, Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Gender, Culture, The Arts, and Heritage during the launch event. Furthermore, its dedication to climate action underscores a commitment to interweaving sustainability across all development facets.
The CARE Kenya 2024-2030 Strategy is not just a roadmap but a call to arms for action, partnership, and groundbreaking solutions. It beckons us to join a collective quest that transcends geographical and sectoral boundaries. Celebrating the launch of this strategic vision, we recognize its potential to serve as a global beacon for development, showcasing what is possible when community leadership, gender equality, and sustainability are at the heart of CARE Kenya efforts.
