We Can't End Hunger Alone

Drawing from more than four decades of experience on the frontlines of the fight against hunger, we partner with country governments, humanitarian organizations, and other champions to promote evidence-based policies to effectively tackle hunger and its underlying causes.

We fight to ensure these high-impact interventions have predictable, adequate, and sustained funding at both the global and country levels. We also mobilize the public to understand the extent of hunger today and the promising solutions that provide hope for a brighter tomorrow.

Addressing conflict is a core element of our mission to create a world free from hunger. We are a lead advocate for United Nations Security Council Resolution 2417, which condemns the use of hunger as a weapon of war.

In Kenya, we play a leading role in shaping and influencing national policies and strategies to improve health in schools, nutrition for mothers, babies, and young children, and support for breastfeeding.

To galvanize practitioners, philanthropists, and policymakers, Action Against Hunger hosted a series of focus group discussions, conversations, and panels on the challenges and solutions to ending hunger. In October 2022, the movement culminated in a flagship convening, Together Against Hunger.

Together Against Hunger

In Côte d’Ivoire, we aim to improve girls and women's autonomy, inclusion, and access to health services. We also work to strengthen women's capacity to fight for their own rights and combat gender-based violence.

We work with leaders from the U.S. Government to advocate for investments in innovative and lifesaving programs, educate policy-makers on the fight to end hunger, and raise awareness and inspire action.
