ACTION AGAINST HUNGER | ACF-USA2012 Annual Report & Financials

1

WELCOME TO OUR 2012 ANNUAL REPORT!

IT’S BEEN A TREMENDOUS YEAR AND I’VE

BEEN NOTHING SHORT OF ASTOUNDED

BY THE REACH AND QUALITY OF ACTION

AGAINST HUNGER’S LIFESAVING PROGRAMS

OVER THE PAST TWELVE MONTHS.

As an organization with a rare commitment to communities affected by hunger, we directly assisted some 7.3 million people last year, along with countless others through our efforts to build local capacity and strengthen national health systems worldwide.

We were confronted with a number of humanitarian challenges in 2012, from food shortages across Africa’s western Sahel, political tensions in the new nation of South Sudan, and displaced communities faced with extreme hardship across Pakistan and D.R. Congo. All in all, the need for humanitarian assistance only increased in 2012, and Action Against Hunger was once again on the frontlines, working with the most vulnerable to restore self-sufficiency.

The crisis that unfolded across Africa’s western Sahel was particularly worrisome, with severe food shortages and drought crippling entire communities and leaving more than 18 million people in need of urgent assistance. With our long-standing presence across the region—in Niger, Mauritania, Mali, Chad, Nigeria, and Burkina Faso—our teams were able to mount emergency response efforts that provided over 1,275,000 people with vital access to clean water, emergency rations, nutritional care, and lifesaving therapeutic treatment for tens of thousands of severely malnourished children.

Moving forward, we will build on our experiences in large-scale emergencies, like the one that affected the western Sahel. Our agency is committed to responding whenever and wherever disasters strike, to reaching far greater numbers of at-risk children, and to confronting the most serious challenge of our time: eliminating the injustice of global hunger.

All our best, and happy reading!

MATT AUBRY Director of External Relations

Tackling Deadly Hunger in

D.R. CONGOA nation reeling from decades of conflict, the Democratic Republic of the Congo experiences routine outbreaks of severe malnutrition that threaten tens of thousands of lives. Action Against Hunger has worked in D.R. Congo since 1997 to treat and prevent malnutrition, and strengthen the country’s capacity to tackle hunger. In 2012 alone, Action Against Hunger continued its efforts, treating more than 47,000 children from deadly hunger, and providing more than 6,000 other people with lifesaving care. Action Against Hunger also helped more than 145,000 people generate income and diversify their diets.

Building Capacity in

NIGERIANigeria has the third largest number of malnutrition cases in the world—more than one million children suffer from malnutrition. Action Against Hunger is helping national agencies and local communities build capacity to treat deadly malnutrition. In our second year of operation in Nigeria, we trained some 1,000 public health workers and equipped and supported 200 health centers, ensuring that 12,000 severely malnourished people received lifesaving care. We also responded to emergencies: when a food crisis swept through the Sahel region in 2011 and 2012, we assisted tens of thousands of Nigerians.

Overcoming Challenges in

SOUTH SUDANFor more than twenty years, Action Against Hunger has worked with vulnerable populations in Sudan’s South, responding to the region’s high malnutrition rates, lack of clean water, and chronic food insecurity. A year after claiming independence, the Republic of South Sudan still faces challenges exascerbated by natural disasters, food shortages, and tensions with Sudan. In 2012 alone, Action Against Hunger treated some 30,000 severely malnourished people while helping another 200,000 access lifesaving care; provided more than 145,000 people with access to clean water and sanitation; and helped more than 60,000 people improve their livelihoods.

Continuing Crisis Response in

KENYAIn the Horn of Africa, a food crisis in 2011 severely endangered the lives and livelihoods of some 3.75 million Kenyans who were still recovering in 2012. Action Against Hunger continued its response to the ongoing crisis, treating more than 24,000 people for deadly acute malnutrition and helping nearly 85,000 access lifesaving care. Action Against Hunger also helped more than 200,000 people access clean water and improve hygiene practices. In addition to emergency response, Action Against Hunger is building the Kenyan government’s long-term capacity to treat malnutrition.
