It is a privately owned, non-governmental, non-political and non-profit organization set up in 1993. The
organization employs approximately 150 international staff and more than 2000 national staff. The
headquarters are based in Paris, France. ACTED’s vocation is to support vulnerable populations affected
by wars, natural disasters and/or economic and social crises, and to accompany them in building a
better future; thus contributing to the Millennium Development Goals. The programs implemented by
ACTED (more than 340 per year), in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America and the Caribbean, aim
at addressing the needs of populations affected by wars, natural disasters and/or economic 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. ACTED
is committed to meeting the highest standards of accountability and strives to meet the needs of the
most vulnerable populations by delivering the adequate humanitarian service in each situation. As a
charity, we will intervene whenever and wherever needs arise, guaranteeing the compliance and
relevance of our interventions and innovating whenever possible. ACTED is thus a member of HAP
International which supports humanitarian accountability and quality management.
