Airlie Taylor

My role involves promoting understanding of the great work we do in emergencies and conflict (through this website, publications, media, etc) as well as making sure we have enough information during emergencies to be able to launch fundraising appeals across ActionAid.  

My favourite thing about working at ActionAid is seeing how our work makes a difference in people’s lives - particularly during emergencies when they’re at their most vulnerable.  I also really enjoy travelling and meeting the people we work with – hearing their inspirational stories drives me to continue doing what I do. 

There’s also lots of exciting developments happening at the moment in the world of communications and humanitarian response, particularly around the use of technology to enable two-way communications between agencies responding to disasters and the people affected by disasters.  It’s definitely an interesting time to be working in this field!
