Action Against Hunger
Information on the purpose of your organization
The mission of Action Against Hunger is to save lives by eliminating hunger through the prevention, detection and treatment of malnutrition, especially during and after emergency situations of conflict, war and natural disaster. From crisis to sustainability, we tackle the underlying causes of malnutrition and its effects. By integrating our programmes with local and national systems we further ensure that short-term interventions become long-term solutions.

Action Against Hunger has been involved in activities around the Sustainable Development Goals for a number of years. Activities have been primarily focused around Goal 2, but we have worked on a number of other Goals and Targets. Action Against Hunger has input in formal processes and has been involved in the development of the agenda through inputting into the UN thematic consultations on food and nutrition security, the High Level Panel, the Open Working Group consultations and the Inter-governmental processes.
These activities have been carried across the Action Against Hunger network.
