This resource guide is based on discussions and thinking from the unpaid care work workshop held in Nairobi, Kenya from 21-24 March 2011. The workshop brought together ActionAid staff and partners from Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda and India. It was a mix of programme and policy staff including representatives from the International Women’s Rights, Education, HIV & AIDS, Governance and Food Rights teams. There was also support from ActionAid’s Impact Assessment and Shared Learning team to begin developing monitoring and evaluation tools. ActionAid International Nepal further added case studies and supported the first publication of this resource guide in April 2012. Since the workshop, the Unpaid Care Work programme was piloted in four countries – Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria and Nepal from 2011-2012. The resource guide has since been updated and revised to incorporate the lessons learned from the pilot programme.
