About ACTED
ACTED is an international NGO established in Paris in 1993, with a triple humanitarian, development and humanitarian mandate. Registered in Kenya since 2004, Acted has a national office in Nairobi with partners, staff, and operations across various counties. Acted’s strategy in Kenya is rooted in the 3ZERO approach (ZERO Exclusion, ZERO Carbon and ZERO Poverty) – which recognizes the intersectionality between poverty, social exclusion and marginalization, and the climate crisis. Acted’s interventions in Kenya aim to advance poverty reduction, promote social inclusion, and strengthen climate resilience through an integrated, holistic approach. This includes (1) supporting local civil society to lead humanitarian action; (2) enhancing climate resilience through restoring degraded ecosystems – in partnership with the communities they serve, and (3) accelerating innovative, entrepreneurial solutions to climate change and social challenges – and finally, across all pillars, Acted aims to empower women, youth and marginalized groups to lead and take agency through its programmes.
