    Message from the Director

    On August 15, 2007 an earthquake measuring eight on the Richter scale struck the south coast of Peru,

    in Lima (Caete) , Ica ( Chincha Pisco) and Huancavelica ( Huaytar and Castrovirreyna) . This was an

    important historical event for the country as it caused the loss of nearly 600 lives, while more than 4,000

    were injured and more than 300,000 peoples homes were destroyed. Across the whole region, water andelectricity services collapsed, and food and medical assistance were initially limited. The lack of shelter

    and the fear of aftershocks forced people to sleep outdoors amid the rubble, highlighting the poverty

    and extreme vulnerability which characterize the living conditions of rural and peri-urban communities.

    On the other hand, it also highlighted the capacity of public and private institutions to respond to the

    emergency, as well as creating synergies with international donors, while authorities, government officials,

    and organized groups at the local, regional and national level pooled resources to provide an immediate

    response to the emergency.

    Through our Institutional Report, we would like to share with you CARE Perus experiences during the emergencyresponse, which taught us invaluable lessons for the future. Hours after the earthquake, we already had teams in

    place in Caete, Chincha and Huancavelica. Our humanitarian aid, rehabilitation and reconstruction program, to which

    we remain committed, has involved a permanent working relationship with local and regional authorities and other

    key organizations, enabling a response that has been synchronized, effective and timely. This was made possible

    by the solidarity, commitment and responsibility of CARE Perus workers, who always showed respect for the human

    dignity of the affected people with whom they worked.

    For the first time, our organization introduced an accountability system, including a toll-free number (0-80014417),

    through which anyone who had received humanitarian aid from CARE Peru could express their satisfaction or

    dissatisfaction with the service received so ensuring respect for and adequate dissemination of international

    humanitarian aid codes and norms that we put in place. These complaints had a rapid effect in that they ensured aquality and dignified service to everyone. The reports on the calls were published on our website, on council notice

    boards, and weekly notices conveyed the most important events of this initiative.

    In the weeks following the earthquake, CARE continued to provide humanitarian aid such as drinking water in barrels

    and water tanks, food packages, family tents, reinforced plastic, blankets and tools for clearing rubble. During this

    phase of the immediate response, CARE provided humanitarian aid to 12,019 families, totaling 60,500 people in the

    provinces of Caete, Chincha, Castrovirreyna y Huaytar. Together with the local authorities, CARE strengthened Civil

    Defense committees, and helped in the distribution of supplies, as well as conducting inspections to ensure access

    for those most in need.

    CARE also aided in the rehabilitation of cement and earth irrigation canals (6.65 km), installation of 43.08 hectares

    of improved pastures. It also helped to improve four drinking water networks and institutionally strengthen Water and

    Sanitation Administration Boards [Juntas Administradoras de Servicios de Saneamiento] (JASS), provided training in

    good hygiene practices and in operation and maintenance of water systems, and provided education infrastructure

    for Afro-Peruvian and Quechua-speaking communities. This initiative included the installation of 78 temporary

    classrooms, teacher training and strengthening of the education system. In addition 20,100 m3 of rubble were

    removed, 1,000 temporary homes were built using reinforced plastic, and 6,397 pit latrines, ecological latrines and

    flush toilets were installed. In this phase of rehabilitation, our efforts targeted 8,455 families and 3,000 primary and

    secondary students.

    In 2008, in a joint effort with the Catholic University of Peru [Pontificia Universidad Catlica del Per] (PUCP)

    and international donor agencies, as well as with national and international NGOs, CARE set about improving

    reconstruction methods for safe and healthy earthquake-proof buildings for families in rural and periurban

    communities. A project was set up with PUCP to train people to build earthquake-proof homes using adobe reinforced

    with geogrid meshing. Training in these practices was given to construction workers and male and female heads ofhousehold. Access to subsidies provided by the government will allow these families to build houses with technical

    assistance provided by workers trained in the above techniques.

    At the same time, reconstruction efforts were focused on Castrovirreyna and Huaytar, in the department of

    Huancavelica, the poorest region in Peru, with a poverty rate of 88,7% and an extreme poverty rate of 72,3%, and

    where chronic malnutrition in children under five stands at 53,4%. A more comprehensive approach is being adopted,

    including training in rebuilding skills, in other words, water and sanitation infrastructure; rural housing infrastructure;

    improvement of family incomes through productive chains, as well as promoting democratic governance and gender

    equity. In this way, local post-disaster capacities are built on to facilitate and initiate rehabilitation and reconstruction.

    The link between the immediate response to the emergency and sustainable development interventions has ensured

    ongoing stakeholder participation, while maintaining the proper respect due to formal and informal local institutions.

    Overall, these efforts allowed us to channel US$8,838,940 in assistance; approximately US$3.5 million on

    humanitarian aid and rehabilitation, and more than US$5.3 million on reconstruction. Performing this monumental

    task was made possible by the people and institutions who trusted in our ability to carry out the work and in our

    commitment. Our gratitude and recognition goes out to every one of them.

    Our Principles

    Promote empowerment and more equal power prelationships. We stand in solidarity with poor and

    marginalized people, and support their efforts to take control of their own lives and realise their rights,

    responsibilities and aspirations. We ensure that those people who are affected are involved in the design,

    implementation, monitoring and evaluation of our work.

    Work in partnership with others. We work with others to maximise the impact of our work, building

    alliances and partnerships with those who take similar or complementary approaches, are able to work ona larger scale, and/or who have responsibility to fulfil rights and alleviate poverty through policy change

    and enforcement.

    Ensure accountability and promote responsibility. We seek to be held accountable to poor and

    marginalized people whose rights are denied. We identify those with an obligation toward poor and

    marginalized people, and support and encourage their efforts to fulfil their responsibilities.

    Address discrimination. In our programmes and offices we oppose discrimination and the denial of rights

    based on sex, race, nationality, ethnicity, class, religion, age, physical ability, caste, opinion or sexual

    orientation.

    Promote the non-violent resolution of conflicts. We promote just and non-violent means for preventing and

    resolving conflicts, noting that such conflicts contribute to poverty and the denial of rights.

    Seek sustainable results. Working to identify and address underlying causes of poverty and rights denial,we develop and use approaches that ensure our work results in lasting and fundamental improvements inthe lives of the poor and marginalized with whom we work.

    We hold ourselves accountable for enacting behaviours consistent with these principles,

    and ask others to help us do so, not only in our programming, but in all that we do.

    Through its programs, CARE Peru contributes to significant and wide reaching impact on the underlying

    causes of poverty and social injustice. In order to bring this about we strive in our projects and programs

    to implement innovative ways to move forward in the attainment of national and international objectives

    (MDGs), support t he government and other stakeholders in the replicat ion or adaptat ion of validated andsuccessful strategies, and influence change in public policy and its implementat ion. We always work with

    partners and allies on multiple levels, reinforcing and promoting efforts through networks and alliances.

    In all our interventions, we seek to promote the empowerment of excluded populations, the fulfillment of

    responsibilities and accountability, and elimination of discrimination in all its forms, as well as generating

    sustainable, lasting results.

    Strategic Framework

    New Models and High Impact Strategies

    Model for Intercultural Bilingual Education with Social Participation. The EDUBINA project, funded by

    Canadian CIDA, finished in mid 2008, with clear evidence of having contributed to an improvement in

    access to quality and relevant education for boys and girls in rural communities in the rural highlands

    of Ancash. Implemented as an official regional pilot program with the endorsement of the Ancash

    Regional Education Authority, EDUBINA pursued a strategy of community participation, curricularplanning based on a Community Education Plan, and mentoring for teachers in the application of the

    intercultural bilingual education approach, as well as the promotion of gender equity. Working in 18

    primary schools and benefiting a total of 1,465 children, the project increased access to education and

    increased the enrolment rate: from 89% to 90% in boys, with an even higher increase of 83% to 88%

    in girls.

    According to the final evaluation, between 2003 and 2006, the average score on a scale of 1 to 20

    in reading and writing in Spanish rose by 229% and 156%, respectively, with increases of 219% and

    186% in reading and writing in Quechua. At the beginning of the project only 15% of children achieved

    pass grades in Spanish reading (meeting expectations or exceeding expectations) and only 10% did so

    in Quechua. By the end of the project, 99% of children achieved pass grades in both languages. Incomparison with other similar rural schools where the project was not implemented, the average scores in

    reading and writing in Spanish in EDUBINA schools was more than double, and in Quechua between triple

    and fivefold. The successes of the bilingual intercultural education model are now being expanded to

    other schools in Ancash, thanks to the support of the Antamina Mining Fund and Credit Suisse.

    As this report attests, over the last two years our programs have contributed to impacts that represent

    significant change for excluded people in Peru. Here we highlight a few of these.

    Model for Development of Rural Production. The Income and Employment Generation in Family

    Production Units in the Altiplano project, funded by FondoEmpleo has developed the beef cattle

    value chain in Quechua- and Ayamara-speaking communities in 10 districts in Huancae and Azngaro

    provinces, in Puno. This project has validated a successful initiative that combines valuing and

    disseminating traditional local knowledge, increasing productivity in cattle rearing, the creation of

    an available supply of technical assistance provided by 62 local producers, and direct marketing of

    livestock by rural producers. The project has more than surpassed its targets, generating an average

    increase of 84% in the incomes of 3,187 producers, which in turn has dynamized the local economy. The

    donors initial investment of S/. 1.193.000 has made it possible to fatten and sell 13,047 head of cattle,valued at S/. 20.261.471, a sales return of nearly 17 soles for every sol of project budget. Of no less

    importance, is the impact on the self-esteem of the producers, who now sell their cattle directly to the

    principal markets in Lima and Arequipa, where they are seen as highly valued and appreciated clients.

    Other innovative strategies validated during the last two years include the financial services model

    to facilitate access to improved sanitary services, in the project Alternative Sanitation Solutions,

    a revolving fund established by EDYFICAR for persons with HIV to expand their micro businesses,

    in association with the Consorcio Fortaleza led by Asociacin Solas y Unidas, or the innovative

    accountability system designed by CARE Peru in the framework of its emergency response program

    following the earthquake of August 15, 2007. Other noteworthy models CARE has validated include:

    the innovative model by PROPILAS aimed at improving access to water and sanitation services in

    dispersed rural communities and rural district capitals; the Regional Agreement promoted in Apurimac

    as a means of decentralizing the Acuerdo Nacional (National Agreement between political parties,

    government and civil society); the model for earthquake-proof and healthy housing implemented

    during the reconstruction in Chincha and Huancavelica, based on the technique of adobe reinforced

    with meshing to increase integrity which had been validated by the Catholic University of Peru; or the

    model to promote access for producers in the rural areas of Ayacucho to irrigation systems through

    credit from formal microfinance providers

    Support to Government and Other Institutions in Replicating Validated

    Strategies

    The FEMME project (Foundations for Enhancing Management of Maternal Emergencies) was

    implemented by CARE Peru in Ayacucho between 2000 and 2005, with funding from the Averting

    Maternal Death and Disability Program (AMDD) of the University of Columbias School of Public Health

    and from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The project supported the efforts of the Ayacucho

    Regional Health Authority and the national Maternal and Perinatal Institute in Lima in improving the

    standard of emergency obstetric care, increasing access to timely health services through the referral

    and counter-referral system in neonatal and obstetric emergencies, and through promoting greater civil

    society participation in favor of safe and secure motherhood.

    Given the evidence of project impact in reducing maternal mortality (by 49%), as shown in the external

    final evaluation comissioned by the Ministry of Health and CARE, which highlighted the strategies

    implemented by the project as an effective model to be implemented in regions with high levels of

    maternal mortality, the projects standardized guidelines for obstetric emergencies were taken as

    the basis for developing new national guidelines. These new guides for clinical practice in obstetric

  • 8/8/2019 Memoria Institucional CARE Per 2007-2008 (Ingls)

    10/35

    10

    emergencies, by levels of problem-solving capacity, and for clinical practice in attending newborn infants,

    were launched by the Minister of Health in 2007, and are now being applied at a national level. During

    2008, CARE also worked with the Ministry of Health in developing a detailed systemation of the eight

    FEMME strategies, with the aim of converting them into eight modules that make up the Intervention

    Model for Improving Availability, Quality and Use of Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care in Peru, with

    a view to their implementation in 2009. Similarly, together with the Ministry of Health and the Ayacucho

    Regional Health Authority, CARE is supporting Bolivias Ministry of Health and Sport in strengthening the

    organization of its obstetric care networks, following the model developed in Ayacucho.

    Other examples of evidence-based interventions taken to scale include the support to the Ministry

    of Health in the development of - and financing through the National Health Insurance (SIS) - of a

    Package of Cost-Effective Interventions for Reduction of Neonatal Mortality, in the framework of the

    Health Rights and Participatory Voices projects, in conjunction with the Newborn Health Collective,

    or support by CARE and other partner institutions in the Child Malnutrition Initiative for local level

    implementation of the national CRECER strategy to reduce chronic malnutrition in children, or the role

    played by CARE as Principal Recipient for HIV and TB programs funded by the Global Fund to Fight

    AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, which are focused on nationwide implementation of a significant part

    of the national multisectoral strategies against HIV and TB in the country.

    Advocacy on the Development and Implementation of Public Policy

    The Child Malnutrition Initiative (CMI) was formed in 2006 to position the issue of malnutrition with

    candidates for the Presidency and later Regional Presidencies, in the national and regional elections,

    highlighting the urgent need for a multi-sector strategy to combat chronic child malnutrition, a

    condition affecting almost one quarter of children under five throughout the country and almost 40%

    of children in rural areas, statistics that had remained virtually unchanged for over 10 years. We

    believe that advocacy by the Initiative has significantly contributed to the strong prioritization by the

    present government of the goal of reducing chronic malnutrition, setting an ambitious target for a 9

    percentage point reduction during their term in office, and setting up the national strategy CRECER

    and the Articulated Nutrition Strategic Budget Program in the framework of results based budgeting.

    At the regional, provincial and district level, participating organizations in the initiative have promoted

    the approval of public policies and programs aimed at reducing chronic malnutrition. This advocacy

    work is combined also with technical support to government at all levels, to ensure the effective

    implementation of these norms and policies.

    Other results of CARE Peru and its partners advocacy activities include: the approval of the Co-Management

    and Citizen Participation Law for primary healthcare facilities, and later its implementing regulations;

    congressional approval of the Healthcare Rights Law campaigned for by ForoSalud; CAREs main partner on

    its health Program approval of the public policies on water and sanitation for 2006 2015 in Cajamarca, and

    reactivation of the Florecer Network to ensure effective implementation of the Law on Education of Girls and

    Adolescents in Rural Areas.

    Several of these and other impacts and results have been recognized by other organizations. The

    experience of implementing an accountability system was included in the Case Book on Civil Society

    and Aid Effectiveness published by the World Bank at the Third High Level Forum on Aid Ef fectiveness

    in Accra, Ghana. The work of the Health Rights Project was included in a special edition of the

    international medical journal, The Lancet, devoted to Human Rights and Health, published in December

    2008, as well as in reports on Accountability and the Right to Health Care and Human Rights and

    International Cooperation in Sexual and Reproductive Health, published by Essex Universitys Centre

    for Human Rights. At the PERUSAN 2008 Conference, we presented seven innovative experiences from

    our Integrated Water Resource Management program. The Livestock Fattening Project in Puno won the

    2008 MORAY Prize for Quality in Agricultural Innovation Projects, in the category of participation of

    organized producers and solidity of strategic partnerships.

    However, the most important recognition of the impact achieved by our programs comes from the

    local stakeholders that work with us in the promotion of their processes of development and social

    justice: the girls and women, boys and men, with whom we work, particularly in communities in the

    rural highlands and jungle regions. Their words of appreciation for the changes achieved inspire us to

    keep on persevering in implementing our vision and mission in the country. We hope too that they will

    encourage you to read this report and that we can continue to work together to build a collective vision

    and redouble our efforts to eradicate poverty and social injustice in Peru.

    The work of the women volunteers in Azngo and Ayaviri has been fundamental in extendingthe scope of our work in defense of human rights.

    The program has helped us craftswomen to work togethernow thanks to the project we have abusiness that buys from us and as a result we have more profit,because the business that buys from us is

    an exporter, and this has enabled us to increase our incomes.

    After my first experience I felt encouraged to buy another old cow from the Ctac campesino community.The cow only produced 2 to 3 liters of milk per day. It was in a sorry state: thin, infested with parasites,had no appetite, of litt le value. After treat ment the cow has increased

    its production up to 8 liters of milk per day.

    Thanks to the training we have received from CARE we have been able to compile a map highlighting themost vulnerable zones in the school, and now have developed a School Emergency Plan. Our eyes have beenopened and we are now able to use these new tools to develop and promote a culture of prevention.

    campaigns publicizing the benefits of quality

    education.

    CARE Peru develops decentralized educat ion management proposals, linked to local and regional development

    processes, with a focus on gender equity and interculturality. We demonstrate how quality Intercultural

    Bilingual Education can be applied in practice, in schools based in the Andean and Amazonian regions.

    CARE Peru also seeks to promote and strengthen intercultural educat ion experiences and proposals in private

    and public schools. All these efforts promote community participation, including parents and children

    in developing and implementing new educat ional proposals. Similarly, the education program promotes

    spaces for participation of indigenous, peasant and community organizations, as well as of other civil

    society organizat ions, in the development, implementat ion and evaluation of public policy. CARE Peru also

    advocates for the promotion of policies, strategies and increased public spending by national, regional and

    local government, to improve the quality of education for the most impoverished groups, and to overcome

    the barriers of linguistic, social, ethnic and gender discrimination.

    reflects a 3% increase in the enrolment of boys and

    a 5% increase for girls, since the projects started

    their work.

    The Kawsay project in Puno, has improved learning

    outcomes of 109 boys and girls in 10 schools, as

    Education in their mother tongue, in this case Quechua, makes it much easier to learn Spanish.After four years of work I noticed that the children were speaking Spanish correctly, making no moremistakes than children who had begun learning to read and write in Spanish, and using Quechua to

    help them understand difficulties in Spanish. This system of teaching has not corrected the problemsof interferences that the students have, and which they will not be able to correct for a long time;what it does is separate the two languages to facilitate learning and teaches Spanish as a second

    language. The approach I used was initially to teach Spanish orally, including the grammatical aspectsthat distinguish Spanish from Quechua, usually starting with the use of the article.

    I was one of those doctors who steadfastly refused to actively manage the third stage of childbirth.However, now that I have been trained I am convinced that all that is needed

    is the right technique.

    Dr. FernandoTurrizaga, Gynecologist/ Obstet rician, La Caleta Hospit al, Ancash

    I am HIVpositive. When I received the diagnosis (2003) , I thought I was about to die. All Icould think about was my children because when I separated from their dad they told me that

    they didnt want me to have another partner, that I should stay single. And now that my kids are

    teenagers, well, that was what killing me: thinking how they would take the news. But thanks to theGlobal Fund, which sent us free antiretroviral treatment, weve had a second chance in life and I am

    here thanks to that. My friend Jonathan invited me to ASIPO+. It is an association that providessupport and information to recently diagnosed people. I arrive at work at 9.30, help out in the

    kitchen, and then Im in the office answering calls. My goals in life are to work because all of us atthe Association are volunteers, and to be a great activist to help more people with HIV.

    alliances, and partnership with businesses on corporate social responsibility. Also, it promotes climate

    change adaption and mitigation methods, with and emphasis on the participation of the poorest and

    most excluded people. It provides technical assistance and mentoring for policy advocacy measures and

    strengthening of public management, with an emphasis on promotion of public and private investment to

    implement strategies against child malnutrition and make this issue a priority at the national, regional and

    local level. CARE plays an important part in the Child Malnutrition Initia tive.

    They have helped all of us craft workers to work and make better things together. Before, we allused to work separately and no one knew about sales. But now, thanks to the project, we have acompany that buys from us, and we make more money because the company buys our things to

    export, which bring us more income. We all have our own tools and now we can produce.

    Rebeca, Craf tswoman, Asociacin Sumak Maki , Huancavelica

    With the Productive Water Project the more proactive of us fruit farmers have been building acommunity reservoir and installing advanced irrigation systems for our crops. CARE provides uswith technical assistance and EDYFICAR loans us the money to buy the irrigation equipment andmaterials. This is how weve always wanted to work, but in our community there are people who

    are complacent and instead of actively looking for this support, they have simply been waiting forhandouts and donations from some institution to install their irrigation systems.

    In this way the bulls quickly put on weight. A bull gains 1.5 kg a day. Previously we used tosell on an annual basis but now we sell quarterly. We have broken into the Lima and Arequipa

    markets. I never imagined that one day Id bring my cattle for sale directly to Lima. However, whenwe arrived, we realized that the quality of Puno beef is superior. In a little over three years we

    have sold more than 12,000 head of cattle, equivalent to nearly 17 million nuevos soles (US$ 5.6million). The most important thing in all of this is the expertise; the project hasnt given us money

    or bulls, but something much more important: expertise. And nobody can take that away from us.It is something that we will have til our dying day.

    IV. Integrated Water Resource Management

    CARE Peru seeks to intervene at local, regional and nat ional levels to ensure that the issue of t he environment

    is included in plans, projects, program and politics, based on validated experiences of strategic partners.

    To that end, it develops innovative models in areas such as payment for environmental services, or new

    practices for the sustainable use of natural resources which redress the loss of these resources and generate

    economic and social benefits for poor families. It also develops and disseminates validated models for the

    provision and management of water and sanitation in isolated rural communities, district capitals and small

    villages. It promotes a lternative sanitation initiatives, solid waste management, and waste water t reatment

    in small cities, as well as consensualized participatory design of regional and provincial policies, thereby

    strengthening the sanitation sector in a decentralized framework. CARE Peru supports governmental sectors

    to ensure the effective execution of water and sanitation programs in the country, as well as to broaden the

    coverage of water services and collective sewerage systems in periurban areas of Lima.

    I think that having real, accurate information is important for people to understand how the

    project works. People are used to handouts and with this project we managed to get people tocontribute, to play their role in achieving change for themselves. Having everything given

    away cant work, and it is important that the community contributes and so changesthe way we work to benefit the population.

    participation, and capacity building in public institutions, seeking greater awareness, responsibility and

    transparency vis a vis the public. It implements strategies for strengthening the processes of decentralization

    and regionalization, through capacity building for local and regional government and civil society. It

    also promotes consensus building and citizen participation, emphasizing the participation of women

    and indigenous people in decision making. It provides technical support on regulations for democratic

    institutions within the framework of decentralization, implementing approaches to raise awareness about

    gender, multiculturality, the environment and watershed management. In the area of mining, CARE endorses

    constructive relations between the communities, local government, and mining companies, so that potential

    conflicts are properly addressed in the interests of collective understanding and good local government.

    Mati lde Jurez de Arenas,

    At the Glass of Milk organization we talked about what we do, but we did not know that wecould also have a say in the municipal budget plan. When we went to the budget meeting to

    support our co-worker, Rosa, in presenting our proposal, we met the Mayor, all the council members,and the district mayors. We felt important and were delighted when

    they commended us on our proposal and approved it.

    A timely response to emergencies is essential in the fight against poverty and injustice, since the impact

    of disaster is the cause and consequence of both. CARE Peru permanently strives to analyze the underlying

    causes of vulnerability and works to reduce them. Through humanitarian assistance, it helps individuals to

    overcome the crisis. It applies measures for the reduction of risk from disasters, to support the rehabilitation

    and reconstruction processes post-crisis, strengthening capacity for resilience and local response in the

    affected population. It acts towards the preparation and prevention for of emergencies in its programs, and

    it incorporates the concept of reconstruction building back in the post-emergency scenario, so that affected

    familiar gain access to better basic services, to safe and healthy homes, as well as the means to live with

    greater food security and better income. By CAREs mandate the response to an emergency must satisfy the

    basic necessities of the affected population, above all in the poorest and most needy areas, respecting the

    humanitarian principles and international standards that recognize the right to personal dignity for thoseaffected by a crisis or emergency; the code of conduct of the International Federat ion of the red Cross and

    Red Crescent, and the regulations of Sphere Project. It also develops initiatives and account management

    within the frame of own membership to the Internat ional Mandate Humanitarian Accountability Partnerships

    Budget Execution

    In the period 2006-2007, at 50%, the principal source

    Peru was the Global Fund against AIDS and Tuberculosis,

    of which CARE is the principal recipient. Next was the

    European Commission, with 19%; the remaining 31%

    came from private donors, the Peruvian Government

    and Institutions, the United States Government, and

    other bilateral donors. Just like the previous period, in

    the 2007-2008 the main source of financing was the

    Global Fund against AIDS and TB with 45%. After it came

    bilateral funds with 27%, the Peruvian Government and

    institutions with 5%, the European Commission with 10%,

    and the remaining 3% from a few private donors, the U.S.

    Government and the World Bank.

    accounting mechanisms in conformity with the policiesof institutional transparency. It abides fully with all the

    regulations of the Peruvian State, as well as those of CARE

    International and other donor governments. In the period

    2006-2008, the status of CARE Perus accounts was as

    follows:

    administrative expenses. In the period 2007-

    2008, total expenses came to US$ 26.292.876,11,

    with 5%, that is US$ 1.388.485,59, used for

    administrative expenditure. Even though the

    period, the percentage allocated to administrative

    expenses was 2% lower.

    CARE Peru maintains a commitment to its donors with

    respect to the good use of resources, according to the

    budgets approved in programmed activities. For this

    reason, its accounting system is organized by funds,

    ensuring an efficient and effective method of control.

    has received greater resources, followed by Sustainable

    Economic Development, Nourishment and Nutrition Security

    (DESAN) [Desarrollo Econmico Sostenible, Seguridad

    Alimentara y Nutricin]. Without including the Global Fundin this distribution, the majority of expenses executed

    in the period 2006-2007 corresponded to the axis of

    DESAN. Following it is the Integrated Management of

    Water Resources (GIRH) [Gestin Integrada de Recursos
