ActionAid in your country
Who we are
Actionaid is a partnership organisation with a mission to work with poor and excluded people to eradicate poverty and injustice. Formed in 1972 , we have grown and expanded for over 30 years and now work in over 40 countries worldwide, helping 13 millions of the poorest and most disadvantaged people.
In China, in alliance with research institutions, media, and non-governmental organisations, Actionaid concerns about the issues confronting poor farm households, rural migrant workers, and women.
We conduct policy research and put forth our advocacy work in areas of natural resource management, rural finance, eco-agriculture, preservation of traditional knowledge, climate changes, and the impacts of trade and globalisation.
Actionaid has established 14 Development Areas (DA) in 14 counties of 5 provinces in China, working with rural people in 186 villages in 40 townships to eradicate poverty and promote comprehensive development of rural community. About 150 thousandwomen, children and poor farmers directly or indirectly have benefited from our work.
