About Action Against Hunger

A common netwo an uncommon ap Action Against Hunger / Action Contre la Faim (ACF) was founded in France in 1979 among other “second generation” humanitarian organisations — agencies seeking a brand of humanitarian politics that could influence political actors and outcomes, not just mitigate atrocities on the ground.

The resulting organisational shift revolutionized how humanitarian professionals responded to international crises and interacted with key actors, institutions, and agencies.

Action Against Hunger’s founding took this evolution even further. While hunger had been addressed in general campaigns against poverty and poor public health, Action Against Hunger was established specifically to combat hunger worldwide, leading the way in defining the terrain, developing appropriate strategies, conducting vital field research, and delivering life-saving programs.

ACF International envisions a world without hunger and collaborates closely in sharing human resources, logistics, and technical capacity. As a non-governmental, non-profit, non-religious organisation, our International Network is committed to principled humanitarian action as outlined in our International Charter of Principles: Independence, Neutrality, Non-Discrimination, Free and Direct Access to Victims, Professionalism, and Transparency.

M essage from the B oard Chair and E xecutive Director We don’t often hear about children starving to death in Canada.

In many other places around the world, they continue to go without food.

This unfortunate reality makes your compassion and support for Action Against Hunger essential.

Your support helped us provide assistance in 49 countries in 2014, including responding to Ebola in West Africa, caring for refugees fleeing war in Syria, and assisting victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.

Thanks to your generosity, Action Against Hunger aided 13.6 million people in 2014.

In Iraq, you helped us provide food aid to about 180,000 people, representing almost one fifth of the total displaced population of Kurdistan.

In South Sudan, your commitment to eliminating hunger and disease ensured Action Against Hunger field staff could quickly respond to a cholera outbreak.

Action Against Hunger facilitated positive change and saved lives in every country we worked in, thanks to you.

We also saw change in our Canadian headquarters in Toronto, saying farewell to Susanne Courtney and welcoming a new Executive Director, Danny Glenwright, in August 2015. Action Against Hunger Canada’s Board and staff thank Susanne for her achievements.

Your support and investment ensures we can continue to accomplish the crucial work of saving lives. Ongoing global instability makes it more important than ever. Thank you for believing that no child should ever go hungry.

Last year was a big year in the global fight against hunger. From the release of the Global Nutrition Report, providing a new picture of global- and country-level progress in all forms of nutrition, to the declaration of a Decade of Action on Nutrition in the Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2), we are better positioned to create real change, thanks to your support.

No mother should have to choose between herself and her baby because she doesn’t have the healthcare or food she needs to raise a healthy child.

The Chaco region is one of the most vulnerable regions in Paraguay, experiencing recurrent droughts and a lack of adequate water collection systems. With your support, especially from World Food Day Montreal, Action Against Hunger constructed four 20,000litre cisterns to collect rain water.

These structures will provide a permanent solution for 2,845 people that suffer from acute water shortages, and enable the growth of an independent, healthy community.

This learning by doing will also allow that trained people can eventually be contracted for the installation of these works, as well as they will become as active controllers of the implementation process of such a plan.

Conflict since December 2013 has killed tens of thousands of people and forced nearly 1.5 million from their homes. Thanks to your support, we have provided 25,000 malnourished children with lifesaving nutrition treatment and 348,263 people with access to safe water and sanitation.

For more details, see page 14.

Two factors will determine our effectiveness in South Sudan: the availability of funding to mount the needed, massive response, and our ability to physically reach people in the midst of prevailing insecurity.

One of the strongest storms ever recorded, Typhoon Haiyan (also known as Yolanda) left 14 million people in need of aid — including four million who lost their homes.

With your support, Action Against Hunger responded immediately, helping families rebuild their lives.

In 2014, your generosity allowed us to help 853,055 people stand on their own two feet again. Total raised by ACF Canada for Philippines (2013-2014): $153,911. The Canadian government announced support for ACF’s response in April 2014. DFATD committed $3.75 million for disaster relief and recovery programs.

For more details, see page 8.

It is clear that preparedness measures, including those established following Typhoon Haiyan, helped to save lives.

A ction Against Hunger B attling Ebola i n Sierra Leone Hygiene kits and knowledge help eliminate Ebola in Freetown

Officials declared the first positive case of Ebola in Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone, in August 2014.

The number of positive cases rapidly increased, leading the Western Area urban district, where Freetown is located, to become the most-infected district, soon reporting 26% of all infections. Congestion and poor hygienic conditions facilitated this rapid spread, particularly in the city’s slum areas.

able to respond to the needs of the most vulnerable during the peak of the emergency — this included raising awareness and providing hygiene kits to quarantined communities to prevent Ebola transmission.

Sheku, an artist who lives in the slum community of Rokupa in Freetown, benefitted from your support. “My family and the others living in this area were vulnerable to diseases because our community did not know how to protect ourselves, especially when it came to Ebola,” he said. “Access to safe drinking water in my community was already a problem before the outbreak . . . a good number of households had no access to it. Two of my family members died and the living conditions became worse.

Our lives halted when Ebola hit.”

Hand-washing is paramount to prevent the disease, but in many communities in Freetown, access to water was

Ebola also disrupted the livelihoods of many people, in particular because of emergency measures like quarantines and market bans. Following 21 days of quarantine, thanks to Action Against Hunger’s social mobilization activities and the provision of hygiene kits, no one else became infected in the area where Sheku lives.

“In the last four months since I actively joined the campaign against Ebola, the hygiene conditions in my community have improved greatly,” said Sheku. “My community now has widespread knowledge on hygiene practices and disease prevention through a number of sensitizations and trainings on Ebola prevention.”

Sheku’s community is now Ebola-free, but the fight against Ebola continues, leaving no space for complacency.

H elping women s urvivors in t he Philippines Thanks to your compassion, Action Against Hunger helped thousands recover from Typhoon Haiyan With the support of the Government of Canada as well as our generous donors, Action Against Hunger helped hundreds of thousands of survivors in the wake of the deadly Typhoon Haiyan that struck the Philippines.

Action Against Hunger has been working in the Philippines since 2000, so our teams were uniquely positioned to arrive on the crisis scene within hours of the storm.

In the typhoon’s immediate aftermath, your support helped Action Against Hunger deliver nearly six tonnes of emergency food provisions to some of the worst-hit, remote regions.

From her small savings as a rice cake hawker in her village of Aspera in Iloilo province, Cindy bought shelter kits to temporarily fix the family home, destroyed by the typhoon.

A Calgary pre-kindergarten school turned an art project into a creative way to make a difference At the end of 2014, the 2000 days Pre-Kindergarten school in Calgary decided to combine their art project with their community engagement work. Each class worked together on one piece of art, which they then sold at an auction to parents. The team also used images of each piece of art to make a 2015 calendar.

Owner and teacher Marlene Kepka organized the fundraising event.

“The children really enjoyed participating and making their art pieces and the parents were really impressed and supported the idea,” she said. “Parents who had bid for a canvas and did not win said that they were glad that the art was in the calendar. It was also great to see how the children came together to create their art piece based on the month they were assigned and then to see it auctioned during our Winter Festival. I was proud of our chil-

dren for what they had created and parents were very interested in the completed work.

“There is a quote that states: Children are great imitators, so give them something great to imitate. In order to start making a difference, we, as the educators and adults, need to be their positive role models. Therefore by being involved in initiatives such as this and encouraging children to participate, we will give them the experience to become citizens who will contribute to their local and global community.”

Annual fundraiser attracts restaurants, chefs and foodies

At Action Against Hunger, we believe in the power of sharing food.

Entering its second year as a fixture in the Action Against Hunger Canada calendar, Love Food Give Food brings together a growing and eclectic group of restaurants, cafes and other food providers to raise funds for the fight against world hunger.

Each participating restaurant donated at least $1 from at least one menu item for one month, helping raise hundreds of dollars for Action Against Hunger’s work.

Love Food Fest also debuted in 2014 at Wychwood Barns, rallying some of Toronto’s brightest chefs to cook up interpretations of childhood classics in an effort to end childhood malnutrition. Guests were treated to an array of tasty creations while supporting a serious cause.

Thank you to our restaurant partners, sponsors, chefs, and guests for making Love Food Fest and Love Food Give Food 2014 a great success.

Food, or rather access to clean food, should be a basic human right. Love Food Fest was a perfect fit.

What is SMART? SMART (Standardized Monitoring and Assessment of Relief and Transitions) is a standardised, simplified household-level survey methodology that provides representative and accurate malnutrition and mortality data for effective decision-making and resource allocation.

Since 2009, Action Against Hunger Canada has served as the project convener for SMART. Today it is the lead agency serving as a technical resource for building capacity and providing technical survey support in SMART.

What is Emergency Survey Support (ESS)?

During humanitarian crises, the response capacity of governments, UN agencies, and international NGOs may be compromised as they struggle to find adequate technical and human resources to meet urgent survey needs.

Thanks to your support, in order to respond to these survey challenges, the SMART team at Action Against Hunger Canada provides partners with short-term technical expertise during humanitarian crises or high-risk nutrition situations with an absence of reliable data.

In 2014, your support allowed Action Against Hunger to work closely with South Sudan’s Nutrition Information Working Group (NIWG) during the crisis in that country and enabled its members to play a meaningful role in prioritizing survey areas, critically reviewing survey protocols and technically assessing the validity and accuracy of survey data.

New methodology helped ACF collect accurate data during ongoing conflict Since declaring independence in 2011, South Sudan has suffered ongoing internal conflict. With an increase in violence at the end of 2013, tens of thousands people have been killed and nearly 1.5 million people have been forced to flee their homes.

The challenges of this context cannot be overstated.

A staggering 40 percent of the population —4.6 million people – are at risk of severe food shortages, and one million people are living in a state of emergency just one step below famine.

In 2014, with funding from UNICEF and technical support from the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Action Against Hunger used a newly-formalised methodology, known as Emergency Survey

Support (ESS) to rapidly collect reliable nutrition data during the emergency in South Sudan.

Action Against Hunger’s Surveillance and Evaluation Team traveled to some of the most remote areas of South Sudan to collect nutrition data using the SMART methodology in order to know where to respond and where to concentrate supplies among areas with limited access or high insecurity.

In a Rapid SMART survey, data on age, sex, weight, height, bilateral oedema, and mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) is collected. This information is key to determine where children have the highest prevalence of malnutrition, providing information necessary to save lives.

Alina Michalska, the SMART Program Manager at Action Against Hunger explains, “the data collected through these surveys in South Sudan helped determine where children had the highest prevalence of malnutrition and also informed the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis in South Sudan. This allowed the humanitarian community to provide and evaluate the effectiveness of life-saving interventions”.

At the same time that Rapid SMART data was being collected in South Sudan, Action Against Hunger also supported the South Sudan Nutrition Information Working Group (NIWG), a technical sub-group of the Nutrition

Cluster. “We worked with the NIWG to help build the capacity of over 50 individuals in SMART, enabling them to design and undertake nutrition surveys”, Alina continues.

The results from nutrition surveillance in South Sudan were among the highest quality of all the surveys reviewed by the NIWG together with the CDC and Action Against Hunger SMART experts. The NIWG is now recognised as the established coordination body playing a key role in providing timely technical support to all partners in nutrition surveys, allowing for up-to-date information for accurate programmatic decision making.

Accurate and reliable data is crucial for effective decision making and resource allocation, particularly during an emergency.
