INDICATOR 3: # of policies, norms and practices changes for more gender inclusive and sustainable economies
Why this indicator? What will it measure and provide information for?
CARE’s vision of a just world emphasizes the promotion of good governance in each of its programming sectors. This is done by empowering poor people to know and act on their rights and present their interests, influencing those in power (public servants and politicians, traditional/faith leaders, and private sector actors) to be more responsible, responsive and accountable, and brokering linkages and convening spaces which enable effective and inclusive relations and negotiations between project participants and power holders.
What Sustainable Development Goal is the indicator connected to?
* SDG Goal 1
* SDG Goal 8
