宗旨与使命
主要在冲突、战争和自然灾害区域，与当地政府合作，建立预防机制和基础设施，解决营养不良问题，确保通过短期干预建立可持续的解决方案组织介绍
We save the lives of malnourished children. We ensure everyone can access clean water, food, training and healthcare. We enable entire communities to be free from hunger.
Action Against Hunger was established in 1979 by a group of French doctors, scientists, and writers. Nobel Prize-winning physicist Alfred Kastler served as the organization's first chairman.
The group initially provided assistance to Afghanistan refugees in Pakistan, famine-stricken Ugandan communities, and Cambodian refugees in Thailand. It expanded to address additional humanitarian concerns in Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, the Balkans and elsewhere during the 1980s and 1990s. Action Against Hunger's Scientific Committee pioneered the therapeutic milk formula (F100), now used by all major humanitarian aid organizations to treat acute malnutrition. As a result, the global mortality rate of severely malnourished children under the age of five has been reduced from 25% to 5%. A few years later, therapeutic milk was repackaged as ready-to-use therapeutic foods (RUTFs), a peanut-based paste packaged like a power bar. These bars allow for the treatment of malnutrition at home, and do not require any preparation or refrigeration.
Action Against Hunger – USA was established in 1997. The international network currently has headquarters in five countries – France, Spain, the United States, Canada, and the UK. Its four main areas of work include nutrition, food security, water and sanitation, and advocacy.

工作领域
OUR WORK
Action Against Hunger's teams work in nearly 50 countries worldwide to carry out innovative, lifesaving programmes in nutrition, food security, water, sanitation and hygiene.
NUTRITION
Good nutrition is the foundation for every child’s growth and development. We are dedicated to providing children with the nutrition they need to fulfil their potential and to making a lasting change in their community so they can have a brighter, healthier future. Today, we are closer than ever to creating a world without child hunger
EMERGENCIES
From catastrophic natural disasters, to conflict, to spikes in malnutrition rates brought on by drought and floods, we respond to humanitarian emergencies all over the world, delivering immediate lifesaving services to families in distress
CAMPAIGNING AND INFLUENCING
As well as providing children and their families around the world with support and care, we work to encourage governments to champion the fight against hunger and malnutrition.
INNOVATION & LEARNING
Over the last 35 years, the fight against hunger has taken us many directions; from running small treatment centres in rural Africa to developing international guidelines for eradicating child hunger. Through these experiences and contributions, Action Against Hunger has shaped and transformed the way acute malnutrition is prevented and treated around the world.
But that is not enough. We also need to shape the future if we want to beat child hunger for good. And this requires a robust and dynamic culture of evaluation and learning in the organisation, and the capacity to capture good practices, build on successes and learn from failures.
