Created in 1979, Action contre la Faim is a non-governmental organization that fights against hunger. Its charter of humanitarian principals- independence, neutrality, non-discrimination, free and direct access to victims, professionalism, transparency – has been part of its identity for more than 40 years. Its mission is to save lives by eliminating hunger through the prevention, detection and treatment of under-nutrition, particularly during and after emergency situations linked to conflicts or natural disasters. Action contre la Faim focuses its actions on 5 main areas of expertise: Nutrition and Health – Mental Health and Care Practices – Food Security and Livelihoods – Water, Sanitation and Hygiene – Advocacy. In 2017, Action contre la Faim provided aid to 20 million people in more than 46 countries worldwide. www.actioncontrelafaim.org Country: NEPAL Length of contract: 12 months, starting June 1st 2019. Context: ACF’s intervention in Nepal started in 2005 with a focus on addressing the needs of the conflict affected population in the Karnali region. Further surveys in the country highlighted alarming undernutrition rates in Nepal. In response, ACF initiated a CMAM programme in Saptari District in 2012 with a District wide approach. The 2015 Earthquake in Nepal led to scaling up our work in the country to 5 of the 14 most affected Districts. Currently our work is spread across 3 districts across 3 provinces. Our capital office is located in Kathmandu and have two field offices in Nuwakot (Bidur) and Nawalparasi (Ramgram). In Nuwakot and Rasuwa Districts in province 3, our primary work is on of WASH facilities for the Earthquake survivors. In the District of Nawalparasi that spreads across provinces 4 and 5, we have an IMAM programme to address the causes and consequences of Hunger by initiating a district wide response at the community and health facilities level. However, in order to address the root cause of malnutrition, we also have initiated an integrated Food Security and Livelihood programmes and plan to initiate work WASH in some specific pockets of the district where cases of acute malnutrition are concentrated. Bidur base was setup after the Nepal earthquake to provide lifesaving and relief support to the earthquake survivors. Since then ACF has adapted its operation to reflect reducing humanitarian needs in the area. Our current work is to support reconstruction of WASH facilities in selected municipalities in Nuwakot and Rsuwa Districts. Ramgram is a small town and district headquarter of Nawalparasi (now split into 2 Districts spread across provinces 4 and 5 of Nepal). Located 9 kilometres away from the Mahendra Highway the arterial roadway of Nepal. ACF base in Ramgram is small with a 4-member team led by a field manager and provides technical support to the health authorities in the district for successful implementation of the IMAM programme.
