CARE Expert, as a part of the CARE Österreich website, provides access to more detailed project-related information, policies and guidelines to "expert users" such as donor representatives, partners, peer agencies, researchers, academics, special interest groups and any other interested individuals. CARE Expert provides resources and downloads almost exclusively in English.
CARE Österreich has commited itself to make detailed project information and programmatic policies publicly available. CARE Österreich is foremost accountable to its primary stakeholders ("beneficiaries") in the projects, but also to its partners, to its institutional, corporate and individual donors. This accountability includes the right of all stakeholders to have access to specific project-related and organizational information.
