We have ALL benefited from unpaid care work. It underpins and supports our families, our society and our economies. Finding solutions to redistribute some of this work within households and communities is essential to building an equitable world.
On #InternationalDayofCareandSupport, we announce two new research projects for policy action toward gender equality in unpaid care work in #Africa. They join the #ScalingCareInnovations initiative, co-funded with @CanadaDev: bit.ly/4hirD3c
