Abstract
This report contributes to understanding how care policies are being implemented in the Global South – in Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia and the Pacific, and Latin America and the Caribbean –, as well as the elements that have the potential to make them transformative. It also reviews the linkages between different conceptualizations of care, reflected in the framing of care policies and their relation to gender equality policies more broadly, and the different actors that shape the actual existence and implementation of care policies. The report aims at providing policy-makers, development practitioners, women movements and other stakeholders with concrete policy examples that are useful for their specific national or regional context as well as contributing to the attainment of target 5.4 of the SDGs.
