Realities and challenges regarding the financing of care policies and systems. Systematization of the Learning Community on Taxation and Care

This paper presents a systematization of the Learning Community “Realities and challenges regarding the financing of care policies and systems” that took place in 2024. It was jointly organized by Oxfam LAC and UN Women, in collaboration with the Global Alliance for Care, and with the support of the Colombian Feminist Economics Board (in Spanish: Mesa de Economía Feminista de Colombia) and Latindadd. Six sessions took place from February to August, fostering an exchange of knowledge, based on the premise of providing a horizontal and cross-sector learning space around various topics related to the fiscal sustainability agenda and its articulation with the financing of care policies and systems. Strategies, challenges and opportunities were explored, and good practices that are already being implemented in financing and tax collection were presented, in order to achieve a new social organization of care that is fair to all the people who comprise our society.
