Votre environnement de travail

Action Against Hunger is well known for its expertise in Nutrition and Health. It started working in Afghanistan in 1995. Its very first mission has seen a strong focus on emergency responses, targeting primarily refugees, Internally Displaced Persons, and flood/drought-affected populations. Integrated projects in Nutrition and Health, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene, Food Security and Livelihoods, and Mental Health and Care Practices are implemented.

In 2023, two-thirds of Afghanistan’s population will need urgent humanitarian assistance to survive as the country enters its third consecutive year of drought-like conditions and the second year of crippling economic decline while still reeling from the effects of 40 years of conflict and recurrent natural disasters. The mission employs 697 staff in five operational bases: Kabul, Helmand, Ghor, Daikundi, and Badakhshan. ACF teams address the underlying conditions leading to deadly malnutrition and food insecurity and provide access to basic health services.

The Kabul base hosts the coordination office in charge of implementing water, sanitation, and hygiene and nutrition projects aiming to reduce acute malnutrition in the Kabul Informal Settlements and in 26 health facilities.
