ActionAid
Mission Statement
ActionAid is a unique partnership of people who are fighting for a world without poverty, in which every person can exercise their right to a life of dignity. We work with poor and marginalised people to help eradicate poverty by overcoming the injustice and inequity that cause it. If we are to fulfil our mission to eradicate poverty and injustice, we must take sides with poor and excluded people and communities and help them to secure their rights.
Women’s rights and gender equality offer the key to poverty reduction and achieving them is a central focus of our strategy. We will bring greater focus and depth while continuing to work on the areas of education, food and HIV and AIDS. To these we have added new priorities, developing our policy and programme work on human security in situations of violent conflict and emergencies, and on democracy and governance.
Our current strategy ‘Rights to end poverty’ provides clear direction for organising and governing the growing ActionAid family and its relationships with the outside world. It sets out how we will make ourselves more accountable, both to the poor and excluded people with whom we work and to our supporters and funders.
