The Carter Center

Waging Peace. Fighting Disease. Building Hope.

Over 40 years, The Carter Center has worked in more than 90 countries to resolve conflicts, advance democracy, protect human rights, prevent disease, and improve mental health and support for caregivers. In ways large and small, we strive to wage peace, fight disease, and build hope across the globe and here at home. And with each step forward, we help create the more peaceful and healthy world that President and Mrs. Carter imagined.

Mission

The Carter Center, in partnership with Emory University, is guided by a fundamental commitment to human rights and the alleviation of human suffering. It seeks to prevent and resolve conflicts, enhance freedom and democracy, and improve health.

The Center emphasizes action and measurable results. Based on careful research and analysis, it is prepared to take timely action on important and pressing issues.

The Center seeks to break new ground and not duplicate the effective efforts of others.

The Center addresses difficult problems in difficult situations and recognizes the possibility of failure as an acceptable risk.

The Center is nonpartisan, actively seeks complementary partnerships, and works collaboratively with other organizations from the highest levels of government to local communities.

The Center believes that people can improve their own lives when provided with the necessary skills, knowledge, and access to resources.

Vision

We envision a world where communities have the tools, resources, and support to wage peace, fight disease, and build hope. We will deliver that vision by doing the hard things in hard places while deliberately transferring ownership to our in-country staff, partners, and stakeholders as one Carter Center.

Health:

We seek to advance human rights by leveraging expertise in disease control, elimination, and eradication as well as mental health and caregiving, collaborating with peace and across health programs, and building the capacity of health systems where we work.

Peace:

We seek to uphold the vision of the Center’s founders by working with local stakeholders to prevent and mediate conflicts and to promote democracy, human rights, and the rule of law.

Values

Our Work

Since 1999, The Carter Center has been actively engaged around the world in advancing the right of access to information — a fundamental human right necessary for the exercise of other essential rights. In 2015, the Center conducted a study that found that women in Bangladesh could not exercise their right to information as easily, frequently, and successfully as their male counterparts.

Our Work and Methods

In 2016, the Center launched a project called Advancing Women’s Right of Access to Information in Bangladesh.

We’ve worked with national and local government to improve women’s access to information to better address gender-related issues.

The project cultivates young champions of women’s rights, engaging youth in fun and interactive boot camps where they learned about governance and gender-sensitive access to information.

Impacts

A legal and social environment that is more enabling of women’s access to information

Clear commitment made by national and local government to more effectively and equitably provide information to women

The ability of women to more fully enjoy their socioeconomic rights in meaningful and transformative ways

Our History & Heritage

For more than three decades, The Carter Center has worked alongside local leaders and communities in Bangladesh to reduce suffering, strengthen democracy, and expand fundamental human rights. From improving maternal and infant health to helping ease political tensions and increasing women’s access to information, the Center’s work has left a lasting impact. Through targeted, community-based efforts and high-level diplomacy — including personal engagement by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter — the Center has helped foster a more peaceful, equitable, and informed society.
