OUR
   PRIORITIES
       AT OUR CORE WE RESPOND
           TO HUNGER CRISES
 This is Action Against Hunger’s starting point and where our
 expertise is grounded. Our strategy is to build from this core
 strength, continually broadening our technical capabilities on
                 issues central to our mission.

 We will use the growing recognition of our reliable and expert
technical services to expand our offering and partner with more
actors, funders and decision-makers in the fight against hunger.

   Our increasing evidence-based knowledge and expertise
 gives us a powerful voice to engage the public and influence
        government to deliver more action on hunger.

 A strong voice and a high profile will drive more support from
   individuals and partners as we seek to grow more diverse
                and sustainable income streams.
