ActionAid

Non-governmental organisations, platforms and networks and similar

ActionAid is an international anti-poverty agency which takes sides with poor people to end poverty and injustice together. Around the world we work in local communities, listening to poor people and learning about their needs. We help them approach decision makers in their own countries, simultaneously lobbying powerful institutions such as the EU to change the international policies and regulations that contribute to the uneven distribution of wealth.
The EU is the largest multi-lateral donor and its decisions have major implications for the lives of millions of people in the developing world.
ActionAid opened its EU Office in Brussels in 1999. The ActionAid EU Office seeks to ensure that EU policies place the fight against extreme poverty and global injustice as a central concern.
