Structure

CARE International (CI) is a confederation composed of twelve national Members, each being an autonomous non-governmental organization in its own right. CI Members in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia carry out a range of project-related, advocacy, fundraising, and communications activities in support of CARE’s relief and development programs in over 65 countries worldwide.

In the MENA region, CARE currently works through a regional management unit and four national offices operating programs in six countries and territories: Egypt, the occupied Palestinian territory, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen.  Currently, we have programs throughout the region across a range of sectors including: girls and basic education; water and natural resources management; local governance and civil society strengthening; conflict resolution and humanitarian aid with a specific emphasis on assisting refugees and internally placed people.

CARE International Secretariat

The CI Secretariat is based in Geneva, Switzerland, with representation offices in New York and in Brussels to liaise with the United Nations and the European institutions respectively. The CI Secretariat is an international foundation, registered under Swiss law, and governed by the CARE International Board of Directors. Under the leadership of CI Secretary General, Robert Glasser, it coordinates and supports the work of the CARE national Members and Country Offices. The CI Secretariat is also the home of the CARE Emergency Group, which provides a quick-reaction capability in situations in which an emergency is likely to overwhelm normal CARE programmes or when a disaster strike in a place where CARE has no presence.

CARE International Members

Each CARE Member is registered as a non-profit charitable organization according to the laws of its own country, and is regulated by these laws and its statutes. Governance oversight is provided by a board of directors, who serve as trustees. The management of each CARE Member is conducted under the leadership of the National Director, who is the chief executive, and his/her senior management team.

CARE Australia

CARE International's Country Offices

For every country in which CARE operates, all programs and projects are implemented through a single integrated operational presence, termed the Country Office, under the leadership of the CARE Country Director.

CARE Members participate in country programs by becoming involved in project identification and design, and through their subsequent provision of technical assistance, financing, human resources or other kinds of support to the Country Office. In all cases, participation occurs within the context of the Country Office strategic plan and its program and program support structures.

In the Middle East and North Africa, CARE maintains four Country Offices in:

  • Egypt
  • Jordan
  • West Bank & Gaza
  • Yemen
