More about the contribution
Based on the results of Sida's humanitarian allocation process carried out at the end of 2021, an agreement between Sida and AAH was signed for humanitarian funding in a number of selected crises during 2022-2025 (Agreement ID 14398A01). The decision on contribution (010195/21) together with number of supplementary decisions, enable financial support to AAH amounting to a total of SEK 1,686,045,466. Within the current agreement, the following modalities of support are funded in 2024: 1. Country Programmes/annual projects in 8 countries – SEK 112, 500,000; 2. Multi-year projects in 11 countries – SEK 174,000,000; 2. Rapid Response Mechanism – SEK 50,000,000 SEK; 3. Capacity Building/Method Support – 6 MSEK; During 2024, the programme and project support cover the following countries/crises: Bangladesh, Honduras, Kenya, Myanmar, Niger, Nigeria, South Sudan, Sudan and Uganda. In addition, the following countries receive multi-year funding during the period 2022-2024: Burkina Faso, Central African Republic, Chad, Colombia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Lebanon, Venezuela, Somalia and Syria. The project and country programmes include support to the sectors of nutrition, protection, food security, health, livelihood, shelter, GBV and WASH. Through their work, AAH contributes towards enabling access of disaster affected populations to essential services such as prevention and treatment of major childhood illnesses (e.g. measles, diarrhoea), improving infant and young child feeding practices, and treatment of acute malnutrition among children and mothers through the provision of supplementary and therapeutic foods. The intervention is therefore assessed to contribute to Reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health (RMNCH). Furthermore, gender equality is a cross-cutting perspective in the interventions and is taken into consideration through: gender analysis that inform the programme/project design; interventions adopt a “do no harm” approach by e.g. targeting both displaced populations and host communities; results frameworks incorporate gender-specific indicators and disaggregated data; and monitoring of AAH’s Gender Equality Policy (approved 2021). In all contexts, complaints and response mechanisms are established through which any cases of misconduct or Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Harassment (SEAH) are reported. Background: Action Against Hunger (AAH) is a non-profit organisation, previously known as Action Contre La Faim (ACF), which is governed by the French Association Law of July 1, 1901. AAH was established in 1979 specifically to respond to humanitarian emergencies, focusing on issues of malnutrition. AAH international network (AAH-IN) is composed of AAH entities from France, (Sida agreement partner), AAH India, AAH United Kingdom, AAH Spain, AAH USA and AAH 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.

Result
This statement refers to the third year of the multiyear agreement, covering the implementation period 1 January 2023 to 31 mars 2024. The total grant to AAH from Sidas humanitarian for the period amounted to SEK 377,500,000, distributed among 37 projects in 29 countries. 318 MSEK was allocated to 19 country programmes; 50 MSEK to 16 RRM projects and 9,5 MSRK to two method support projects. The five largest country programmes were: Somalia (33,1 MSEK); Somalia (30 MSEK), DRC (24 MSEK); Syria (24 MSEK) and South Sudan (23 MSEK). During the reporting period, AAH's support reached 2,7 million affected populations (including 1 million women, 612,237 girls, 648,346 men, 527,448 boys and 108,456 persons with disabilities. In general, Sida assesses that the report provides sufficient information about achieved results as well as organisational changes, dialogue questions and cross-cutting issues and lessons learned. AAH has adhered to Sidas NGO Guidelines (23 November 2023) in terms of what should be included in the aggregated reporting, while also incorporating the additional requirements provided by Sida following the submission of the previous global report. Through the PIINS project, AAH has adopted a protection risk prevention toolkit and has adapted several tools, such as the Post Monitoring Distribution questionnaires, which have been revised to incorporate protection issues. The project has contributed to integration of protection into AAH's Global Strategy 2025 as well as increased understanding across the organisation more generally.
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.
