summary of activities
All the worlds citizens, or at least those with electricity, could watch
the repeated images of a catastrophe which claimed thousands ofinnocent lives. The international community and public opinion in the
most advanced countries was brought to the realization not withouthorror that peace i s not a permanent state, and that all countriesare vulnerable. As an international humanitarian organization,Action Against Hunger wanted to help those affected by this tragedyat home. We gave a contribution to a local Manhattan non-profit
organization helping the victims' families.
In the minutes that followed the attacks, we established contact withall the Action Against Hunger teams stationed in over 40 countries.
Our concern was to know if they were in danger and to take stockof the first reactions in Nicaragua, Sudan, the Caucasus area
Once over the shock of the first few minutes, our teams expressedtheir condemnation of this act, but also hope: that the attacks might
also spur debate about the violence a ffecting more than a third ofhumanity.
Our field workers asked us to remind the world that in the Philippines,
Guinea or Colombia, thousands of innocent people lose their livesevery day as those in the twin towers. Perhaps the world agenda
would now change and a renewed desire for justice would finallyunite humanity. Perhaps the largely ignored reality of the conflictsdevastating so many areas in the world would suddenly earn the
right to attention. Perhaps the suffering of others would becomecomprehensible for the w orlds most advanced societies beca usethey themselves had just been victims.
But it w as not to be. The international mobilization against terrorismzeroed in on Afghanistan and consigned the conflicts in which ourfield staff kept working back into oblivion. Our numerous teams in
Afghanistan and neighboring countries got their first chance todescribe the plight of communities we have been helping since1995, but all other crises w ere quickl y forgotten.
In Angola, Congo, Burundi and Somalia, the most vulnerablecommunities are dealing with armed groups whom no internationalforce seems ready to combat. In Nicaragua, Honduras and ElSalvador,the survivors of Hurricane Mitch continued suffering theconsequences of its destructive force, as international aid
progressively dwindled. In Armenia and other states like Azerbaijan,the will to survive still had to contend with the residues of a cruel totalitarian regime.
In the meantime, Argentina drew nearer the abyss. In a few short months,thousands of people found themselves without resources. Approximately
20,000 people drop below the poverty threshold every day. The fact-finding mission arranged for December 2001, including Buenos Airesmost disadvantaged neighbourhoods, was expected to conclude that
wealthy Argentina had enough resources to meet the needs of its poor.However, our fieldwork teams encountered a situation of neglect and
vulnerability similar to the least developed Latin American capitals, whichfully justified our humanitarian intervention.
The new hostilities rending apart the M iddle East have greatly increased the number of victims, particularly among the civilian population.Hundreds of families lack the minimum means to survive and aid
mechanisms are under grave strain. Disease and malnutrition arereappearing, especially among children, while the world looks on
indifferently. The mission we sent to take stock of the situation hasverified that Palestine is in urgent need of support programs for women,
children and elderly people.
Despite the fact that the most devastating crises go unnoticed, that thedesperation of millions finds no solace and that even the smallest changein how the world manages its affairs is a daunting proposition, we are
determined not to be disheartened. Our teams on the ground havepersevered in their work and are demonstrably helping to drive backhunger. Action Against Hunger, with Head Offices in New York City,Madrid, London and Paris, continues working toward our goal of
informing, raising awareness and support.
Sierra Leone has finally emerged from chaos. The involvement of theinternational community and the will towards national reconciliation
have brought tentative hope to the tens and thousands of refugees towhom we are providing aid out of Guinea Conakry. Hundreds of men
have gone back to their land to prepare for their families return. Electionsshould hopefully confirm this return to normality.
In East Timor, the scheduled birth of the twenty-first centurys first newnation will usher in a time of peace after decades of fratricidal violence.In Mozambique, the end of hostilities and the peace talks long sought by
the international authorities promise a return to stability and improve thecountrys ruined economy.
The lesson is clear: when the international community is willing, whenthe United Nations has the resources, when NGOs can work on the
ground, suffering can be stopped. Poverty is no ones destiny. Hungercan be defeated. This is what we stand for, what our field staffexperience every day and what the present report confirms.
Hunger is in retreat, but still threatens millions.With your support, we can continue our positive fight against hunger
with the same enthusiasm, strength and conviction.
Together we can take a step further towards a hunger free world.

our resources
The technical departments are the foundations of the knowledge and
experience of our organization. They provide essential training andtechnical advice to the teams before departure and while carrying
out their work in the field. For all of Action Against Hungersfieldworkers, the technical departments are the permanent
reference throughout the whole implementation of their project.
The fight against hunger goes beyond simply supplying food. In orderto fight hunger, it is necessary to constantly define new techniques
adapted to the individual situation and specific needs to which we
respond. The technical departments are the central point of all ouractions allowing us to respond adequately to the needs of the mostvulnerable populations.
The complementarity of our actions is also essential. It is not enough
to cure children suffering from malnutrition; it is also necessary tofight against the diseases and epidemics that cause millions of cases
of infant malnutrition and to ensure access to safe drinking water.The technical departments work at identifying the real causes of
hunger and defining relevant solutions.
Technical Resources
Fieldworker distribution by professional profile:
Human ResourcesThe essence of our professionalism
All over the world, nearly 5,000 men and women (600 in the HeadOffices and 4,400 in the field) working for Action Against Hunger
share the same objective: to take direct and effective action againstan intolerable insult to human dignity, the persistence of hunger in a
world of plenty. This is the unrelenting struggle in which our teamsare engaged. The success of our programs depends on them.
Our teams in the field
More than 400 fieldworkers and almost 4,000 national staff carry outprograms in more than 40 countries.
Action Against Hunger pays great attention to its selection procedureand training programs, because knowledge and technical expertise
are essential.

NUTRITIONSaving the life of a severely malnourished child can be a matter ofhours. It is therefore important to be rigorous in the treatment given
to a child in danger. Renutrition products and protocols defined by the nutrition department are the basis of our interventions in
emergency situations.
FOOD SECURITYTo respond to a crisis it is vital to distribute the foods needed for the
survival of the population. The choice of foods (which must take intoaccount cultural factors), their quality and the identification of the
most needy beneficiaries are key elements for defining the right typeof aid that must be put in place.
In post crisis situations and/or in order to prevent a recurrence, it isessential to support the local agriculture through the supply of new
resources (seeds, fertilizers, tools), and also the implementationof new techniques.
WATER AND SANI TATIONWater is one of the leading weapons against hunger. Access to safedrinking water and better sanitation allow improvement in the state
of health of communities and prevents the spread of diseases.Irrigation of fields allows food production to be increased by three or
four times.
HEALTHA vicious circle exists between disease and malnutrition. A
malnourished child is more vulnerable to diseases than a well fedchild. A sick child, weakened by illness, often becomes a victim of
malnutrition. It is therefore necessary to fight disease in order tocombat hunger.
Our fight against hunger is carried out throughfour complementary activities
How our funds are spentEach project has a unique cost structure. Emergency programs are
the most expensive programs for logistic and personnel costs as they
involve a rapid mobilization of resources and an immediatedeployment of qualified staff. We have to react quickly in order tosave lives.
Rehabilitation and development programs are less costly. They are
aimed at the long-term transmission of knowledge and techniques.
The time imperative is not the same and the structure of expensesreflects the lower cost in terms of human resources.

M onitoring at all levels in order to achieve an optimaluse of resourcesIt is imperative that the management of the financial resources withwhich we are entrusted meets our standards of transparency andaccuracy. However, this in itself is not sufficient. All expenditures
must be relevant, reasonable and justified. Each expense musttherefore provide guarantees with respect to:
Its relevance: each expense must contribute to the achievement of
our objective the fight against hunger. Care is taken to obtain goodsand services at a reasonable price.
Its rigor: through the reliability of accounting procedures andauthorization of expenditure.
Its transparency: in order to merit the confidence of all oursupporters and allow them to verify the good management of
resources.
Control mechanisms exist at all levels from country program to HeadOffice in order to guarantee these three principles. Controls take
place throughout the year and give rise to audit reports presented tothe public authorities with which we collaborate. They are carriedout internally by our financial departments and externally by
independent auditors who monitor the standard of our transactions.
Each Head Office is responsible for its own management. Annualfinancial audits both at Head Office and country program levels are
the responsibility of each Head Offices Board of Directors.
An appropriate use of fundsAlthough running costs must be kept as low as possible, they are the
guarantee of a reliable, responsible and professional organization inthe fight against hunger.
Management transparency, control procedures and the accuracy
of our financial statements are dependent on professional andefficient financial and administrative management.
Head Offices not only provide essential support for the programs
but also play the vital role of building on experience, leading efficientresearch projects and responding to difficulties.
Our objective is to keep administration costs to a minimum as shownin our financial statements.

Action Against Hunger
USA Annual ReviewSummary 2001
Action Against Hunger-USA is a registered501(c)3 tax exempt non-profit organization.
We directly manage programs caring for vulnerable and displaced
populations affected by war and conflict including displacedpopulations in Eastern and Western Democratic Republic of Congo,
South Sudan and Uganda. We actively recruit and train expert
fieldworkers for all Action Against Hunger international programsin over 40 countries. In 2001, medical doctors, nutritionists, nurses,
logisticians, water engineers and food security specialists weresent not only to programs managed by the New York office, but also
to Afghanistan, Myanmar (Burma), East Timor, Ethiopia, Indonesia,Macedonia, Philippines, Russia, Serbia, Sierra Leone, and Somalia.
We also generate public and international support for ActionAgainst Hungers worldwide activities through campaigns andactively raise awareness on the issue of hunger amongst the
American public. In 2001, Action Against Hunger launched its firstadvocacy campaign in the U.S. to increase the awareness among
Americans about hunger and development issues affecting 815million people worldwide. The goal was to dispel the myths
surrounding hunger and show the root causes of hunger; howhunger is used as a weapon.
Our nutrition, water/sanitation, health and food security expertshave worked together to bring appropriate and effective integrated
solutions to the specific problems facing communities for long termsustainability. For example, we arrived in the Adjumani District of
Uganda in 1995. Among the many needs, safe drinking water wasalmost non existent and when we left in 2001, safe water coverage
availability was approximately at 98 percent for the 70,000 SouthSudanese refugees. When Action Against Hunger teams disbanded,
the local trained staff became resources to work for local NGOsand district governments, because we have a strong training
component. They became valuable assets in their community.
All this would not have been possible without the support of ourindividual private donors, and the continued and renewed
confidence of institutional donors - United Nations Agencies, and the United States, Canadian and European Governments.
Action Against Hunger-USA Account Summary 2001
As of 2001, the private funding for Action Against Hunger-USA made up
for only 5 percent of the funding whereas institutional funding made up95 percent. The key is to raise unrestricted funds so that when there is
a gap in institutional funding or an emergency crisis as well as for pre-and post-emergency stages, funds are readily available. Otherwise,
our field staff must reduce the humanitarian aid and this ultimatelyaffects our beneficiaries who desperately need assistance.
Financial transparency and the relationship of trust that is established
with supporters and institutional donors are a priority, and our nationalaudited financial statements are available to the public on request.
Your support enables Action Against Hunger to save over 4 million livesevery year. Please send tax-deductible contributions to:
