Agreement Value:

$4,908,000.00

Agreement Date:

Jan 20, 2023 - Mar 31, 2029

Description:

The project addresses inequalities in paid and unpaid care work as intersecting themes. The visibility of care work and the momentum to address it in post pandemic presents a unique opportunity to shift who does daily care work; improve the conditions of paid care work (such as domestic workers); shift power relations between women and men, and shift responsibility for investments in care from household to state. The project activities include: (1) increasing the adoption of positive, gender-equitable social norms in support of care work at the community level; (2) having an equitable sharing of care work at the household level, particularly to benefit women and girls; (3) increasing the adoption of gender-transformative legislation, policies, and practices by duty-bearers in support of paid and unpaid care work; and (4) achieving equality in the division of care work.
