CASM Strategy Document
This strategy document articulates our vision for integrating care, security, and macroeconomy into domestic policy, with a particular focus on regions in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Our objective is to ensure that care both paid and unpaidis recognized as a strategic resource essential for public health, economic productivity, and social cohesion. The undervaluation of care work has long been a blind spot in conventional policy-making.

Integrating Care, Security, and Macroeconomy—Implications for Development Policy
Modern development challenges increasingly reveal the inadequacy of policies that treat economic growth, security, and social welfare as separate domains. In many national contexts, the contributions of care work whether delivered in households or through formal institutions are systematically undervalued. This neglect not only distorts economic measurements but also weakens public health, social cohesion, and overall security

For many citizens, especially those in urban and peri‑urban areas, the everyday reality involves not only grappling with economic insecurity but also managing the heavy burdens of care work.
