 Company Profile

ACTED (Agency for Technical Cooperation and Development) is a non-governmental organisation created in 1993. Independent, private and not-for-profit, ACTED respects a strict political and religious impartiality and operates according to non-discrimination and transparency principles.

 

Every year ACTED implements approximately 150 projects in 5 zones of intervention in Central and South Asia, Middle-East, Central America/Caribbean and Central Africa.

 

With a network of almost 2,500 staff working in 22 countries, one of ACTED's long-term objectives is to contribute to poverty alleviation by providing support to victims of disasters, both man-made and natural. For more than 10 years, ACTED has been maintaining this approach, and intervenes wherever needs occur guided by increasing adaptability, responsiveness, efficiency and transparency.

 

Our Mission: To provide a response adapted to specific needs.

 ACTED’s vocation is to support vulnerable populations worldwide and to accompany them in the construction of a better future.

 

The programmes implemented by ACTED in Africa, Asia, Middle East and Latin America/Caribbean, aim at addressing the needs of the populations affected by wars, natural catastrophes and/or economical and social crises.


Our interventions seek to cover the multiple aspects of humanitarian and development crises through a multidisciplinary approach which is both global and local, and adapted to each context.                                                             

 

Our Vision: To guarantee the link between Emergency, Rehabilitation

and Development

Once basic needs have been covered, the population’s living conditions remain critical given that our areas of intervention are among the poorest in the world. For this reason, ACTED’s axis of intervention lies in the link between Emergency, Rehabilitation and Development. In other words, in order to guarantee the sustainability of interventions carried out during crises, only a long-term support – through remaining on the field after the emergency and involving the communities – enables us to break the poverty cycle and accompany the populations on their way to development.
