International Day of Care and Support: Posters in English and in Spanish
Given the need for rigorous evidence to strengthen the implementation of care systems and policies in Latin America, GRADE, IDRC, FORD, UNRISD in collaboration with the Global Alliance for Care, promote the Care Economy Public Policy Innovations Collaborative Action-Research Fund Latin America and the Caribbean. This initiative promotes policy innovation, rigorous evidence and collaborative work among policy makers and research teams.
Our initiative seeks to support policies and research that address both the unequal and inequitable organization of care, as well as the evidence gaps regarding care systems and policies in the region. We will soon be sharing a repository with publications of the projects we have been supporting with the Fund since 2023.
