Purchase Dossier: PIJE00842

Action Against Hunger (AAH) was established in the West Bank and Jerusalem in 2002, and Gaza in 2005, with the aim of protecting lives, promoting capacities, and transforming systems for the betterment of Palestinian communities. AAH’s field of work spans across the majority of sectors in Palestine, including WASH, Shelter, FSL, Education, and integrated Protection.

AAH aims to sustain resilient Palestinian communities by supporting individuals and communities facing violence, natural hazards, and conflict; facilitating access to basic services, promoting rights and community planning under the context of occupation and blockades; promoting social and economic opportunities for youth and women most affected by the lack of livelihoods; and influencing national and international stakeholders to take the best course of action in relation to Palestinian livelihoods. It is one of the leading humanitarian organizations in the country.

In December 2021, the European Union through the Foreign Policy Instrument (FPI) approved the proposal that Action Against Hunger (AAH) and three national NGOs submitted in consortium for a comprehensive program in Gaza, titled “*Promote Economic Opportunities, Psychosocial Support and Livelihoods Engagement (PEOPLE) in Gaza*”.

AAH is the Leading Agency in the Consortium, in charge of the coordination of the intervention and ensuring accountability towards the donor.
