We take action to end hunger and its root causes worldwide. We respond to crises and partner with local communities to prevent, detect, and treat undernutrition. We promote change to policies, practices and inequalities that perpetuate hunger.
Our Values
We place respect at the core of all our interactions.
We value collaboration and meaningful connections in pursuit of our vision.
We hold ourselves accountable to the communities we work with, our staff, our partners, and our donors.
We are driven by our diversity and lived experiences and are committed to an inclusive workplace that creates equity for all.
We aim to progressively integrate anti-racist principles into our work to shift power, combat systemic racism, and dismantle white supremacy.
Our Principles
INDEPENDENCE
Action Against Hunger acts according to its own principles in order to maintain its
moral and financial independence. Action Against Hunger’s actions are not defined in
terms of domestic or foreign policies, nor does the organisation act in the interests of
any government. Action Against Hunger respects all forms of religion.
NEUTRALITY
Action Against Hunger maintains strict political and religious neutrality. Action Against
Hunger will, however, denounce human rights violations it witnesses as well as
obstacles preventing access to, and delivery of, humanitarian assistance.
NON-DISCRIMINATION
Action Against Hunger rejects all forms of discrimination based on ability, ethnicity,
nationality, gender, race, age, sexual orientation, religion, or social class. Assistance is
provided on the sole basis of needs and priority is given to the most at-risk population.
PROFESSIONALISM
Communities and people affected by crisis must receive the assistance they require
from competent and well-managed staff and volunteers. To ensure the efficient and
effective use of resources and the dignity of those it aims to assist, Action Against
Hunger is committed to meeting the highest professional standards and to building
capacity in the communities in which we work.
UNRESTRICTED ACCESS TO HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE
Action Against Hunger is committed to ensure that affected populations have
unrestricted access to humanitarian assistance. Action Against Hunger must be able to
reach populations in need so as to provide adequate and timely aid assistance as well
as to monitor the proper use of it.
TRANSPARENCY
Action Against Hunger is committed to full transparency and accountability to the
population it assists, its donors, and partners by making available all information on its
programmes and use of its resources and by providing independent verification of its
good management and the effectiveness and impact of its work.
