Action Against Hunger

Action Against Hunger is a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), established in France in 1979.

Action Against Hunger- France is part of the Action Against Hunger International network, which provides humanitarian relief in more than 45 countries worldwide in the sectors of nutrition, health, water/sanitation, and food security.

Action Against Hunger tackles the causes and effects of hunger and diseases that threaten the lives of vulnerable children, women and men.

We act either during the crisis through emergency interventions, or afterwards through rehabilitation and sustainable development programmes. We also intervene early to prevent certain high-risk situations.

Since the reasons for hunger are many, our response is multi-sectoral based on solid expertise.

Our field of expertise are:

• Water, Sanitation and Hygiene
• Nutrition and health
• Food Security and Livelihood
• Mental health, Car practices and gender protection
• Advocacy
• Risk and disaster management
• Research

As the world’s hunger specialist, our primary goal is to create a better way to deal with hunger. For more than 40 years, we have led the global movement that aims to end life-threatening hunger for good within our lifetimes.
