Advocacy
Action against Hunger is much more than food. Our actions are aimed at promoting lasting chances to policies, practices and operational capacities, by influencing polical and economic decision makers and mobilizing public support
Mobilize and defend: two pillars of our action
For this purpose, we carry out advocacy and mobilization activities in Member States and in the international community.
Action Against Hunger’s advocacy activities are organized around two themes: the fight against hunger and malnutrition and the defense of humanitarian principles.
