Action Against Hunger (AAH) is a global humanitarian organisation that takes action against the causes and effects of hunger and malnutrition. AAH is composed of AAH entities from France (Sida agreement partner), India, United Kingdom, Spain, USA and Canada. Each of these members are separate legal entities, but share a common charter of principles, strategy and areas of intervention. All members of the network are committed to bringing coherence and enhancing efficiency to better serve those in need of nourishment , and to adhere to the AAH principles for which it stands. These principles are: moral and financial independence, strict political and religious neutrality, non-discrimination, free and direct access to victims, professionalism and transparency. The principles are outlined in an agreement (the International Global Protocols), which is signed by all AAH members. Through this contribution, Sida will be supporting AAH with funding which will allow for AAH to provide humanitarian assistance to affected population in more than 20 countries worldwide, through flexible, programme-based funding. While the specific objective of each intervention might differ, AAH's main mandate is within the nutrition sector, with the mission to "save, improve and protect lives by eliminating hunger through the prevention, detection and treatment of undernutrition, especially during and after emergency crises caused by situations of conflict, displacement, poverty, discrimination, inequality, or natural disaster". Nutrition interventions are complemented by activities which seek to ensure that people have access to clean water, food, healthcare and protection. By being present before and after disaster strikes, AAH is committed not only to respond to emergency needs, but also to build and to strengthen the capacity and resilience of the local communities. In line with the Sida humanitarian strategy, the objective of the response is to save lives, alleviate suffering and uphold human dignity for the benefit of people in need who have been, or are at risk of becoming, affected by armed conflicts, natural disasters or other disaster emergencies. AAH's long-term planning and performance monitoring process is laid out in a five-year International Strategic Plan (ISP), which is prepared by the AAH international network. The current International Strategic Plan (ISP3) covers the period 2021-2025 and reflects AAH's priorities. To meet the overarching impact of collective and inclusive action that empowers 25 million people to overcome hunger in 2025, the key priorities to be addressed by AAH are to: 1) Save lives: Lives are saved and immediate needs are met in an effective and inclusive manner in emergency contexts; 2) Collectively build resilience: People and communities are better able to withstand future shocks. Mitigation of the climate crisis and of gender inequality is embedded in the fight against hunger; 3) Connect and mobilize: Citizens, communities, civil society and actors at all levels are mobilized as part of a collective movement to end hunger; 4) Create and share knowledge: Best practice in the fight against hunger is developed collaboratively by a diversity of actors and shared for the empowerment of all. In 2024, Sida supports AAH's humanitarian interventions in 25 specific contexts including 11 multi-year humanitarian programmes and 8 annual humanitarian programmes. Sidas contribution also supports AAH's capacity to implement life-saving responses through the Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM) in 12 contexts (as of September 2024) as well as capacity building for protection integration and humanitarian access.

The Canadian International Food Security Research Fund (CIFSRF) supports applied research projects that address food security challenges in the developing world. It is jointly funded, coordinated, and implemented in collaboration with the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and uses the combined expertise of both organizations to maximize the impact of the projects funded. Through investments in applied research, the CIFSRF contributes to the development of more productive, sustainable, and gender-sensitive agricultural techniques for women subsistence farmers, with the ultimate goal of making food sources more secure and accessible, and the food produced more nutritious, for poor households - particularly for women and girls, who face the heaviest burden of chronic hunger and malnutrition in developing countries. One of the objectives of the CIFSRF is to ensure that the results generated by the research funded are used to inform food security policies, programs, and on-the-ground development activities. Partnership is also an important aspect of the CIFSRF. All the research projects funded are jointly conducted by Canadian and developing country-based organizations, such as academic institutions, private sector organizations, civil society organizations, or research institutions. These partnerships harness Canada's expertise in agriculture and nutritional science and combine it with first-hand knowledge and expertise in developing countries, to maximize the benefit for development activities.

16 March 2011 - After more than a decade of civil conflict, Nepal continues to face a series of overwhelming challenges relating to poverty, food insecurity and lack of infrastructure. Three and a half million people in Nepal are considered to be moderately to severely food-insecure – 40 percent more than two years ago. Furthermore, Nepal’s location in the Himalayas makes it particularly susceptible to climate change. In recent years, severe weather such as drought, erratic rainfall and flooding have resulted in consecutive food production deficits. In March 2010, food price inflation was at 18 percent. CIDA’s contribution is helping WFP to meet the needs of more than 1.2 million people faced with food insecurity in Nepal. Under this operation, which is operational from January 2011 until December 2012, activities supported include general food distribution, supplementary feeding, cash/food for work initiatives, conditional transfers, and other forms of critical food assistance.

Despite a ceasefire and Comprehensive Peace Agreement signed in 2006, there has been recent volatility in several regions of Nepal. This instability has hindered the population's access to basic services, including food. An estimated 42 out of 75 districts throughout the country are currently experiencing food shortages. CIDA's contribution is used to help the World Food Programme provide emergency food assistance to conflict-affected populations. Special emphasis is given to targeting women, children, ethnic minorities and vulnerable indigenous groups. This operation is expected to meet the food aid needs of an estimated 1.3 million beneficiaries.

Refugees and displaced persons often live in difficult conditions for long periods of time, and rely heavily on an uninterrupted supply of international food assistance to camps where they are often confined for lengthy durations. While the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) plays the lead role in helping to ensure the protection of refugees and internally displaced populations, the World Food Programme (WFP) also contributes to address situations of critical food insecurity. Given the needs of other WFP operations, donors often overlook refugee programs. As a result, in many operations, rations for refugees are often below minimum standards. UNHCR and WFP have thus joined efforts to raise awareness on programming gaps affecting refugees, and to address acute malnutrition in humanitarian contexts. CIDA's contribution is supporting WFP to address critical food insecurity needs for refugees and internally displaced persons, based on assessed needs on the ground. This support helps to ensure regular and uninterrupted access to an appropriate supply of food assistance, for those that rely on the WFP to meet their emergency food needs. WFP activities also focus on finding sustainable solutions to help build the capacities of vulnerable populations to meet their own food and nutrition needs.
