The Africa Care Economy Index offers a concrete evaluation of African state performance in the recognition, support and redistribution of caring work. Based on a definition of care economy and related concepts relevant in Africa, the Index uses ten metrics to evaluate the 54 states of the continent. The index provides an analytical framework to devise strategies, messages and build the capacity of women CSOs, regional partners, and other stakeholders to engage, influence policies and hold policy makers accountable.
