Reflections on Priority Impact group CARE Peru June 2009

1. Reflections on Priority Impact group CARE PeruJune 2009

2. 1. A clearly defined goal for impact on the lives of a specific group, realized at broad scale Defining Characeristics of a CARE program…. • The program must define what “broad scale” means, but, in general, we mean at least at national scale or for a whole marginalized population group. • Impact should occur across three areas of unifying framework (human conditions, social position, enabling environment). • Impact should be seen and evaluated over an extended period of time.

4. Poverty in Peru is concentrated in Rural Highlands (Sierra Rural), and the Amazonian Indigenous population (“Nativo”)

5. In seeking to contribute to generate significant changes and impacts at broad scale, we particularly want to see such impacts achieved for women, men, boys and girls and adolescents from the Rural Highlands and Amazonian Indigenous Communities, within the framework of priority national and international goals in Peru. • CARE Peru considers poverty a multidimensional concept, within a human rights framework, and not just as economic poverty, and so we take a broad range of international and national commitments as a basis for setting the goals and targets to whose fulfillment our programs seek to contribute. • These goals include: • The Millennium Development Goals • The Fourth World Conference on Women (Beijing) • The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change • The Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015 • The National Agreement (“Acuerdo Nacional”) • The Multianual Macroeconomic Framework (MMM) • The Multianual Social Framework (MSM) • The National Plan for Equality of Opportunities between Men and Women • The Multisectoral Strategic Plan in response to Tuberculosis, and the Multisectoral Strategic Plan 2007-2011 for the Prevention and Control of Sexually Transmitted Diseases and HIV/AIDS • The National Plan for Disaster Prevention and Response • The UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples • Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness

6. Criteria for defining priority impact group, within framework of anti discrimination, rights and equity...which sector of the population is furthest from seeing its rights fulfilled in the impact area relevant for each program? • Population group (rural, urban, indigenous) • Geographical location (coast, Highlands, department/region) • Sex (men, women) • Economic groups (extreme poor, poor, non poor) • Age (children, women of reproductive age) • Most vulnerable groups (MSM, SW, Trans, prison population)

8. CARE PERU PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS Program Impact Goals The international and national goals and targets to which the program contributes, in the framework of the MDGs, international Conventions, and national strategies or frameworks (such as the Multianual Macroeconomic Framework or the Multianual Social Framework) International and National Goals & Targets MDGs, MMM/MSM, National Strategies Priority Impact Group The population group in whose lives CARE Peru's programs seek to generate significant and sustainable impacts, in terms of poverty and social injustice, at broad scale Direct Impact Subgroup The subset of the priority impact group with whom we work directly in our projects Secondary Objective Group The group with whom we work as a means to generate the impact in the priority impact group. Although we may generate positive impacts in the lives of this group, this is a means rather than an end in itself Stakeholder Group Key actors who facilitate our interventions and advocacy , and who can affect (positively or negatively) or be affected by the program, but are not our impact group Population with whom a project will work directly to generate positive impacts – including the direct impact subgroup and members of the secondary target group National Poverty Line National Extreme Poverty Line

9. SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS Program Impact Goals MDG1: 50% reduction in poverty and extreme poverty, reduction in poverty gap, and increase in share of national income of poorest 20%. MMM: poverty from 48.7% to 30%, and rural poverty from 70.9% to 45% (2006-2011). MSM: Improve income distribution to halve the gap between the richest 20% and the poorest 50%. MDG1: Reduce Poverty and Extreme Poverty Rural poverty, gap between richest 10% and poorest 50% Priority Impact Group Women and men below or near the poverty and extreme poverty lines, in the Andean Highlands and Amazonian Indigenous Communities Direct Impact Subgroup Poor women and men with whom we work directly in our projects, in Ancash, Ayacucho, Cajamarca, Huancavelica & Puno Secondary ObjectiveGroup Non-poor entrepreneurial small farmers in the communities where we work, for whom our projects generate positive impacts as a means (force of example, leaders of change, etc.) to generate impacts for the priority impact groups Stakeholder Group Key actors that facilitate our interventions and advocacy work: Local government, Ministry of Agriculture, research bodies, private sector, technical assistance providers, NGOs, etc. Population with whom a specific project works directly: for example, Alli Allpa in Ancash – includes those below the poverty line (88%) as well as non-poor (12%) National Poverty Line National Extreme Poverty Line

11. Next steps • Ensure standardized definitions of categories (rural, urban, etc.), • Map recent past, current and future desired areas for direct intervention, against district poverty lines • Continue defining/refining program strategies
