Created in 1979, Action contre la Faim is an international non-governmental organization that fights hunger in the world. Its charter of humanitarian principles – independence, neutrality, non-discrimination, free and direct access to victims, professionalism, transparency – has been the basis of its identity for over 40 years. Its mission is to save lives by ending hunger through the prevention, detection and treatment of undernutrition, especially during and after emergencies related to conflicts and natural disasters. Action Against Hunger coordinates its programs around 5 areas of activity: Nutrition and Health – Mental Health, Psychosocial Support and Protection – Food Security and Livelihoods – Water, Sanitation and Hygiene – Advocacy.

Action Against Hunger has been working in Cameroon since 2014, following the massive and sudden influx of refugees fleeing the Central African crisis and subsequently the Boko Haram crisis. The multiple offensives in each border area of Cameroon have caused significant internal displacements and substantial arrivals of refugees. Since then, ACF has been implementing its humanitarian response with an integrated and multi-sector approach, with interventions in health and nutrition, water, hygiene and sanitation (WASH), mental health and care practices, food security and livelihoods for vulnerable people, including Cameroonian internally displaced persons (IDPs), Central African refugees as well as returnees and host communities.
