Action Against Hunger ACF International 2009 Annual Report ACF INTERNATIONAL

Comprised of five independent, non-profit organizations with headquarters in London, Madrid, Montréal, New York, and Paris, ACF International saves the lives of malnourished children while providing families with access to safe water and sustainable solutions to hunger. ACF bridges emergency relief with longer-term interventions in emergency situations of conflict, natural disaster, and chronic food insecurity. Our 4,600+ field staff—seasoned professionals and technical experts in nutrition, water and sanitation, public health, and food security—carry out life-saving programs in more than 40 countries. These programs reach nearly five million people a year, restoring dignity, self-sufficiency, and independence to vulnerable populations around the world.

And in countries as diverse as Guatema- uphold in carrying out their work. la, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh, millions of people are, more than ever, in need of food. Malnutrition has become an insidious disease spreading into the poorest populations. Among the nearly three billion inhabitants of Independence our planet surviving on less than two dollars a day, one billion suffer from Neutrality under-nutrition.

Non-Discrimination But hunger is not a question of shortages; largely, it is the result of neglect and poor policy decisions. At the dawn of the 21st century, we have the Free and Direct tools and the knowledge to end hunger, but we lack the political will to Access to Victims do it. While $4 to $9 billion a year would be enough to eradicate severe acute malnutrition—the deadliest form of hunger—the wealthiest nations give Professionalism away $1 billion every day to subside their farmers, and large corporations spend billions more on executive compensation and bonuses. Transparency

Faced with these stark realities, ACF is waging a battle against hunger on three fronts. First, we save lives threatened by acute malnutrition and provide communities with the tools to get back on their feet after a crisis. Second, we bring our contribution to the fight against selfishness and complacency through testimony and advocacy. Finally, we take leadership in a growing movement to convince the wealthiest countries to consume differently and help the world’s poorest nations produce more efficiently. Our life-saving humanitarian work is three-fold: treatment for those most severely affected by acute malnutrition—infants, young children, pregnant women, and nursing mothers—with Ready-to-Use Foods like Plumpy’nut and other supplementary products; vital programs in water, sanitation, and hygiene; and support for families to access food through the distribution of seeds and tools, training in agricultural techniques, and a range of income-generating activities.

As a leader in our field, we are more committed than ever to confronting one of the most serious challenges of our time: the injustice of hunger. On behalf of the International Chairmen’s Council, I am proud to present this

report highlighting some of ACF’s key accomplishments in 2009. A C F INTERN TION AL ON THE COVER Our comprehensive approach to global hunger delivers a range of community-centered solutions to populations in crisis, like this woman’s Denis Metzger community in southern Sudan. Chairman, International Chairman’s Council 1 ACTION AGAINST HUNGER A UNIQUE INTERNATIONAL NETWORK

For almost Our comprehensive solutions to global hunger are needs- based, context-specific, and customized through direct 30 years, Action community participation. While the programs we run Against Hunger may vary from one country to the next, they all share this has led the way defining set of characteristics: in defining the Comprehensive: Action Against Hunger integrates activities in nutrition, food security & livelihoods, water, sanitation & hygiene, and idea of global advocacy. To tackle the underlying causes of hunger, we address the partnership. social, organizational, technical, and resource concerns essential to a community’s well-being.

Lasting Solutions: Action Against Hunger works to ensure our programs can be sustained without us. By integrating our programs with local and national health systems, we transform effective, short-term interventions into sustainable, long-term solutions.

Community-Centered: A community-centered approach is key to building local capacity for the management and maintenance of our programs. Through training, workshops, technical support, and mentoring, Action Against Hunger builds local capacity and cultivates community know-how for the long-run.

Independent & Impartial: As a nongovernmental humanitarian agency, ACF is apolitical. But when it comes to human suffering, we are not neutral: We do our utmost to deliver effective assistance whenever and wherever it’s most needed.

Full Accountability & Transparency: Action Against Hunger directly implements and oversees all of its programs, requiring full access to communities targeted for assistance. Committed to transparency and full disclosure, ACF ensures key financial information is publicly available and that its programs undergo external evaluation to assess their impact.

In 2009, ACF International finalized a six year strategic plan that looked forward to 2015 and set ambitious goals designed, in part, to help meet the UN’s Millennium Development Goals. The ACF International Strategic Plan was developed over a 22 month period divided into three discrete phases. We began with an investigation of major trends affecting our work, including the recent food and financial crises and the impact of emerging new threats such as climate change. Our analysis included a careful look at the current and projected state of world hunger, an examination of the progress—and obstacles to progress—that has been made to address acute malnutrition, the impact of such related causes as violent conflict and natural disasters, along with major contributing factors like the lack of accessible clean water, sanitation or food security.

During the initial diagnostic phase, Bain & Company provided pro bono support to examine and clarify our core business, benchmark ACF’s reputation as perceived by a wide range of stakeholders, and review strategies to improve our impact. In the next phase of the planning process, technical teams were charged with developing strategic frameworks by sector, while early drafts of strategic priorities were developed with extensive input from staff at all levels. The final phase included review and validation from board leadership, along with the development of metrics and a monitoring plan to measure progress.

The ACF International Strategic Plan set the intention for the network. Each HQ then developed its own Strategic Plan tailored to the needs and resources of that office with the international plan providing common goals and serving as the basic framework for planning.
