International Network

In order better to respond to people’s needs, Action contre la Faim has developed an international network.

The association set up an office in Madrid and London in 1995, in 1997, in New York and in 2005 in Montréal. With the benefit of potentially increased human and financial resources, our association has been able to develop new avenues of research (prevention of humanitarian emergencies, HIV…) and extend its programmes to other countries, particularly in Latin America.

Today, Action contre la Faim has become one of the most important humanitarian organizations fighting hunger in the world. Thanks to the coordinated action of the five HQs of Action contre la Faim, the association is currently represented in around forty countries.

All the headquarters of ACF

• The HQ in Madrid is active in around fifteen countries, notably in Latin America.
• The New York HQ implements humanitarian aid programmes in 5 countries.

These 2 HQs coordinate their work with the HQ in Paris in response to emergencies. The pooling of human resources, equipment and funding gives improved reactivity in helping the most vulnerable.

• The HQ in London is responsible for Hunger Watch, an international research unit. An intermediary with British Cooperation (DFID), its mission is also to evaluate the programmes of the network as a whole.
• The Montreal HQ supports the international network in recruiting and training teams and collecting funds.
