September 2024 – The Global Roadmap on the Care Economy (GRAC) was developed through a collaborative effort between the Center for Global Development, The Asia Foundation, CIPPEC, Women Deliver, and the International Center for Research on Women. The roadmap provides a strategic framework that maps the global care landscape and its opportunities, highlights existing data and gaps in measurement, supports coordination and de-siloing efforts, and provides insights to inform future advocacy, research, policy action, and financing. It focuses on specific recommendations and existing metrics to highlight care at key global moments, with the ultimate goal of elevating and integrating care on a global scale by 2030.
The GRAC is a tool for policymaking, advocacy, and coordination for stakeholders working to influence change in the global care economy, including international and civil society organizations, advocacy groups, policy researchers, policymakers, and donors. This document will also be useful to anyone else who desires a comprehensive understanding of how to improve the care economy and the specific levers to do so.
