During the Peer Learning Meeting on Care, held in Montevideo, projects from various Latin American countries shared experiences, challenges, and lessons learned regarding the development of care policies and systems in the region.

The experiences gathered in this series show that care systems are built on multiple dimensions: institutional coordination, shared responsibility, recognition of community initiatives, long-term care, working conditions, interculturality, and the need for comprehensive responses to inequalities.

Building care systems in Latin America requires recognizing that there is no single path forward. The experiences gathered in this series show that care is built through multiple avenues: community work, institutional coordination, shared responsibility, public investment, long-term care, and responses to the inequalities that permeate daily life.

These lessons highlight the importance of continuing to strengthen spaces for regional exchange, evidence-building, and collective action to advance toward care policies that are more comprehensive, sustainable, and connected to local communities and people.
