This guidance document provides support for programme managers and others seeking to integrate care analysis into their work. It explains why care analysis is important, provides definitions of key ideas relating to care, and offers tips and guidance for anyone seeking to use the accompanying Rapid Care Analysis toolkit.  Rapid Care Analysis is a set of exercises for the rapid assessment of unpaid household work and the care of people in the communities where Oxfam is supporting programmes. Additionally, it aims to assess how women’s involvement in care work may impact on their participation in development projects.
