5.1 Target 1: the Scale
The CARE Program Strategy indicates that CARE is committed to providing quality, life-saving humanitarian assistance to 20 Million People affected by humanitarian crisis. Based on various forecasts for trends of natural disasters and human-made crisis we estimate that this objective translates into a target of 5% to 15% of the people affected by a particular crisis depending on the type of CARE’s response. The following table provides the target thresholds and performance scores by type of crisis.
| Targets and Performance Score (as of July 2015, 3 = highest) for:
% affected people directly reached through CARE’s humanitarian assistance |
|||||
| by type | >15% | 10-15% | 5-10% | <5% | No response |
| Type 1 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| Type 2 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
| Type 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 0 |
| Type 4 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
In addition, achievements will be measured against the response specific targets in terms of reaching expected numbers of people with particular vulnerability profiles.
