FLOODS DAMAGED INFRASTRUCTURE AND DISRUPTED HEALTH SERVICES, WORSENING AN ALREADY FRAGILE NUTRITION LANDSCAPE.WATER, SANITATION AND HYGIENE (WASH) NEEDS WERE ALSO CRITICAL, ESPECIALLY IN ARID REGIONS WHERE OVER HALF OF COMMUNITIES RELIED ON UNSAFE WATER. THESE CONDITIONS INCREASED THE RISK OF WATERBORNE DISEASES LIKE CHOLERA AND DROVE HIGHER RATES OF MALNUTRITION IN WOMEN AND CHILDREN. GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE, INCLUDING FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION, WAS ANOTHER AREA OF CONCERN.ACTION AGAINST HUNGER OPERATED ACROSS THE HIGH-RISK COUNTIES OF MANDERA, ISIOLO, BARINGO, TANA RIVER, AND WEST POKOT, FOCUSING ON HEALTH AND NUTRITION, WASH, FOOD SECURITY AND LIVELIHOODS, GENDER, ADVOCACY, AND SOCIAL PROTECTION.

THE NUMBER OF INTERNALLY DISPLACED PERSONS SURGED FROM 350,000 TO 750,000 OVER THE YEAR, AS ARMED CLASHES AND INSECURITY FORCED ENTIRE COMMUNITIES TO FLEE, PARTICULARLY IN PORT-AU-PRINCE, BRINGING THE RISK OF FAMINE. THE SITUATION WAS FURTHER COMPOUNDED BY A RESURGENCE OF CHOLERA AND THE CHRONIC WEAKNESS OF HEALTH AND SANITATION SYSTEMS, LEAVING MILLIONS OF HAITIANS IN URGENT NEED OF HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE.TO ADDRESS THESE PRESSING CHALLENGES, ACTION AGAINST HUNGER REVISED ITS PROGRAMME STRATEGY TO ENHANCE SUPPORT FOR POPULATIONS AFFECTED BY VIOLENCE AND DISPLACEMENT.

FLOODING DISPLACED OVER 200,000 PEOPLE AND CAUSED THE LOSS OF 240,709 METRIC TONS OF CROPS, CAUSING A MAJOR IMPACT ON THE 59 PER CENT OF TANZANIA'S POPULATION THAT WORK IN AGRICULTURE. WHILE TANZANIA HAS SEEN IMPROVEMENTS IN CHILD NUTRITION OVER THE PAST THREE DECADES, WITH STUNTING RATES DROPPING FROM 50 PER CENT IN 1991/92 TO 30 PER CENT IN 2022, REGIONAL DISPARITIES PERSIST, POSING ONGOING PUBLIC HEALTH CONCERNS.ACTION AGAINST HUNGER FOCUSED ITS EFFORTS IN THE SINGIDA AND DODOMA REGIONS, TACKLING THE ROOT CAUSES OF MALNUTRITION THROUGH INTEGRATED, GENDER-RESPONSIVE HEALTH AND NUTRITION INTERVENTIONS.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

The first 25 listed. Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

California fundraising campaigns

Campaigns run by paid fundraisers, commercial coventurers and thrift stores naming this organization, as California published them. Both figures are as filed, and what the first one counts depends on the campaign type — a coventurer or a thrift store files its own sales rather than money collected for the charity. The 990 reports this only as a yearly total, never per campaign.
