ActionAid is an international anti-poverty agency whose aim is to fight poverty worldwide. We work with the poorest and most vulnerable people, helping them fight for and gain their rights to food, shelter, work, education, healthcare and a voice in the decisions that affect their lives.

HungerFree is ActionAid's global campaign forcing governments to deliver on their commitment and halve hunger.

Hunger is not caused by nature, it’s a political choice! It results from the unequal distribution of food, and the lack of access to and control over resources.

We are fighting to out the issue of hunger to the top of the political agenda.

In 2000 the leaders of nearly every country in the world made a commitment to halve hunger by 2015.
That was nine years ago. Yet today hunger is actually increasing in most parts of the world. Governments can make a huge difference if they keep their promises.
