Since 1997, ActionAid Haiti (AAH) has been led and staffed by Haitians, working with the people living in poverty and facing successive natural disasters and political turmoil. AA Haiti (AAH) works closely and coordinates with local authorities to respond to emergencies while strengthening their governance and supporting community-based organizations by building their resilience and capacity. AAH is set up as a Country Program within the internal structure of the AA Federation.
ActionAid’s work in Haiti is in line with its Feminist Principles and Human Rights-Based Approach (HRBA), and the focus of its programs has been women's rights, food security, the development of economic initiatives for women and young people, and the management of sudden onset disasters.
In line with the effective merger of ActionAid and Alianza por la Solidaridad in 2018, ActionAid Haiti is currently undergoing an integration process with Alianza Haiti.
ActionAid works in 5 regions in the country: the Center, West, South-East, South, and Grand’Anse.
