About: Action Against Hunger

Present in Ile de France and Marseille, ACF acts in France in a dynamic of support and complementarity with the actors in the fight against exclusion, poverty and inequalities. Our action is based on solid experience acquired internationally and aims to ensure food security for the most vulnerable. ACF works to characterize food security and to establish dignified access for all to sufficient, healthy and sustainable food.

ACF operates in France at 3 levels:
– At the level of actors involved in access to food: diagnoses of profiles and needs and support for changing operational methods
– At the level of territories: support for coordination and linking of actors for a multidimensional approach
– At the level of public policies: technical influence and advocacy work for the right to food
