Votre environnement de travail
Action Contre la Faim established itself in Madagascar in April 2012. Since then, ACF has implemented a continuum of programs in the fields of Nutrition & Health, Food Security and Livelihoods, Mental Health and Care Practice, Water Sanitation and Hygiene, with cross-cutting advocacy actions from both a humanitarian and emergency and development perspective.
Through RFSA activities, USAID/Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA) supports multi-year resilience and food security programming to improve and sustain the food and nutrition security of vulnerable populations. These activities work at the individual, household, community levels using the graduation approach to address the underlying causes of food insecurity and strengthen transformative opportunities. This includes a focus on improving food access and incomes through agriculture and other livelihoods initiatives; enhancing natural resource and environmental management; combating under-nutrition, especially for children under two and pregnant and lactating women; and mitigating disaster impact through early warning and community preparedness activities. RFSAs are intended to strengthen resilience in populations vulnerable to acute, chronic hunger and recurrent shocks, stresses and crises, and to reduce future need for ongoing or emergency food assistance.
