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.
