Recognised as a leader in the fight against hunger and malnutrition, Action Against Hunger | ACF International has been working for over 30 years to meet the immediate and long term needs of millions of children and families worldwide. Driven by our vision of a world without hunger, ACF has built a network of five headquarters working in over 40 countries, helping over four million people every year.
Despite significant progress, malnutrition is still the underlying cause of an unacceptable number of child deaths and illness. Poor nutrition can also permanently affect mental and physical growth in the early years of a child’s life, robbing whole communities of a future.
We can, and must, build on our existing work to do more.
Our five year strategy aims to do just that. We outline clear objectives that build on our core strengths of saving the lives of malnourished children and responding to natural and man-made disasters.
To achieve our objectives we will continue to provide for the immediate needs of those vulnerable to hunger, whilst addressing its underlying causes. All our objectives will further the impact we have on those deprived from one of the most basic human needs: food.
Whilst we must remain mindful that our objectives are set at a time of economic turmoil, we know from over three decades of experience that it is entirely possible to bring about an end to hunger and malnutrition. The financial crisis has demonstrated that money can be found when the world deems it important. Therefore, we pledge to make it our business, to make hunger matter and end malnutrition.
