Health and Nutrition Capacity Statement

This capacity statement provides examples of some of the interventions and innovations that Action Against Hunger is developing in order to achieve its vision of saving and protecting lives and ensuring long term sustainable impact in the fight against hunger.
As a world leader in the fight against malnutrition, Action Against Hunger has worked to end child hunger for more than four decades in situations of conflict, natural disaster and chronic food insecurity. Today, Action Against Hunger plays a key role as a referent in nutrition information systems in emergency and development contexts. It has an established reputation as an evidence-based, data driven organisation capable of providing high-quality technical and operational support; has contributed to the development of revolutionary nutrition products; and has led the field-testing of treatment protocols that are now the standard globally. From isolated rural communities to overcrowded urban slums and refugee camps, we work in both humanitarian and development contexts to improve the nutrition and health of children under the age of five, as well as pregnant women and nursing mothers.
