Votre environnement de travail
Action Against Hunger has been operating in Afghanistan since 1979. Its very first mission, has seen a strong focus on emergency responses, targeting primarily refugees, Internally Displaced Persons, and flood/drought affected populations. Integrated projects in nutrition and health, water, sanitation and hygiene, food security and livelihoods, and in mental health and care practices are implemented in 4 provinces. Our work with local partners is essential to gain access to more geographical areas.
The recent political development that followed a period of drought and heavy fighting has plunged the country into an even more profound crisis in the economic aspect, includingthe shutdown of the financial institutions, the suspension of international structural funding, and fears of food shortage and higher inflation.
In 2023, two-thirds of Afghanistanโs population will need urgent humanitarian assistance to survive as the countryenters its third consecutive year of drought-like conditions and the second year of crippling economic decline while still reeling from the effects of 40 years of conflict and recurrent natural disasters. The mission employs 450 staff in five operational bases : Kabul, Helmand, Ghor, Daikundi, and Badakhshan. ACF teams address the underlying conditions leading to deadly malnutrition and food insecurity and provideaccess to basic health services.

The mission is old but the context is new and is one of the most challenging and stimulating. Between January and July 2022, humanitarian partners reached 23.8 million people with at least one form of humanitarian assistance, including 23 million vulnerable people; 365,000 cross-border returnees; 72,000 refugees; 293,000 people affected by sudden-onset natural disasters. While humanitarian assistance has increased significantly over the first half of the year, particularly undernutrition is on the rise and there is dire needs of health & nutrition activities.In a context of increasing humanitarian needs and simultaneous rise in operational complexities, the humanitarian communityโs ability to continue to stay and deliver life-saving assistance will be contingent on flexible funds, enabling financial systems and assurances of aid worker safety and principled humanitarian response.
