Who we are ?
JOINING ACTION AGAINST HUNGER MEANS BECOMING PART OF AN INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY NGO IN THE SERVICE OF A HUMANITARIAN AMBITION AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH ITS FOUNDING PRINCIPLES.
Action contre la Faim fights against the causes and consequences of hunger throughout the world. For more than 40 years, our humanitarian association has developed expertise in health and nutrition, access to water and sanitation, food security, mental health, advocacy, research and risk and disaster management.
Our aim is to eradicate hunger in the world. To achieve this, we are setting up a large number of projects that are as close as possible to vulnerable populations. Firstly, we respond to emergencies such as conflicts or natural disasters to guarantee access to basic needs such as water, food and healthcare. We then provide development aid by helping vulnerable populations to develop their food resources and income-generating activities so that they can become resilient and self-sufficient.

WORKING IN A HUMANITARIAN ASSOCIATION: WHAT MAKES US SPECIAL
THE NEW DEAL: AN OPERATIONAL FRAMEWORK THAT FOSTERS RESPONSIBILITY AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO OUR OPERATIONS
Developed in 2010-2011, the New Deal model (Development, Empowerment, Accountability, Leadership) enables Action contre la Faim to ensure the organisation’s capacity to increase its impact and adapt to changes in the humanitarian environment.
More responsibilities and accountabilities are delegated closer to the point of programme implementation: strategic and programmatic choices, greater freedom in the choice of funding, the conclusion of partnerships or the composition of teams in the field, aimed at ensuring that decisions are taken by the right people at the right level, and that they are adapted to the local needs of the populations affected.
A UNIQUE SOCIAL MODEL
Action contre la Faim has drawn up a charter of principles that underpins its day-to-day work.
Our Charter of Collective Values unites all members of the workgroup, regardless of our place of work, profession or hierarchical level. It provides each employee with a common reference point for professional relations and the way in which we should work together and behave.
WHAT ARE OUR SECTORS OF ACTIVITY AND JOB OPPORTUNITIES?
Our humanitarian association has 8990 employees in nearly 55 countries in a wide variety of professional sectors, including logistics, mission management, communication, marketing, human resources, finance, auditing, security, information systems, advocacy and others related to our areas of intervention (nutrition and health, water and sanitation, mental health and food security).

ACTING COURAGEOUSLY
We will do everything in our power to help the most vulnerable and marginalised populations on our missions and in the activities we carry out, always acting with integrity and in accordance with humanitarian principles.
MAKING A LASTING IMPACT
Whether in a crisis or over the long term, our humanitarian actions and projects have a measurable impact. In fact, we take our responsibilities seriously and are always ready to be held to account for our work.
LEARNING CONSTANTLY
We’re constantly innovating and looking for new advances, new projects and new activities. Our aim is always to do better.
BEING EXEMPLARY
We are nutrition experts, respected and known the world over. We analyse, we propose solutions and we share our knowledge, always encouraging others to get involved.
WORKING BETTER TOGETHER
We cannot solve these problems alone. So we are working in partnership to maximise our impact and create a global movement of international solidarity for change.
