Haïti 2022 - Action contre la faim : HUM 2021-2025

Bangladesh, Honduras, Kenya, Myanmar, Niger, Nigeria, South Sudan, Sudan and Uganda. In addition, the following countries receive multi-year funding during the period 2022-2024: Burkina Faso, Central African Republic, Chad, Colombia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Lebanon, Venezuela, Somalia and Syria. The project and country programmes include support to the sectors of nutrition, protection, food security, health, livelihood, shelter, GBV and WASH. Through their work, AAH contributes towards enabling access of disaster affected populations to essential services such as prevention and treatment of major childhood illnesses (e.g. measles, diarrhoea), improving infant and young child feeding practices, and treatment of acute malnutrition among children and mothers through the provision of supplementary and therapeutic foods. The intervention is therefore assessed to contribute to Reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health (RMNCH). Furthermore, gender equality is a cross-cutting perspective in the interventions and is taken into consideration through: gender analysis that inform the programme/project design; interventions adopt a “do no harm” approach by e.g. targeting both displaced populations and host communities; results frameworks incorporate gender-specific indicators and disaggregated data; and monitoring of AAH’s Gender Equality Policy (approved 2021). In all contexts, complaints and response mechanisms are established through which any cases of misconduct or Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Harassment (SEAH) are reported. Background: Action Against Hunger (AAH) is a non-profit organisation, previously known as Action Contre La Faim (ACF), which is governed by the French Association Law of July 1, 1901. AAH was established in 1979 specifically to respond to humanitarian emergencies, focusing on issues of malnutrition. AAH international network (AAH-IN) is composed of AAH entities from France, (Sida agreement partner), AAH India, AAH United Kingdom, AAH Spain, AAH USA and AAH Canada. Each of these members are separate legal entities, but share a common charter of principles, strategy and areas of intervention. All members of the network are committed to bringing coherence and enhancing efficiency to better serve those in need of nourishment , and to adhere to the AAH principles for which it stands. These principles are: moral and financial independence, strict political and religious neutrality, non-discrimination, free and direct access to victims, professionalism and transparency. The principles are outlined in an agreement (the International Global Protocols), which is signed by all AAH members.
