: CARE’s work in India is governed by a series of 3 – 5 year Long Range Strategic Plans (LRSPs) which are defined and developed in consultation with a wide range of stakeholders. These plans establish the purpose and relevance of CARE and its work within the development context and priorities of India. These plans also determine CARE’s strategy and action plans for the current LRSP period and help CARE’s Annual Operating Plans to be developed and reviewed on a yearly basis.
