Agency for Technical Cooperation and Development (Colombia)

ACTED (Agency for Technical Cooperation and Development) is a non-governmental organization with headquarters in Paris, founded in 1993. Independent, private and not-for-profit, ACTED respects a strict political and religious impartiality and operates according to principles of non-discrimination and transparency.

Given the wide spectrum of needs, ACTED worked across a number of sectors including: water, sanitation and hygiene assistance, food security, livelihoods support, and Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM). Despite the emergency nature of the interventions, ACTED mainstreamed sustainability considerations into each project, providing the knowledge, skills and inputs required for communities to sustain the outcomes of ACTED programming.
