国际行动援助简介
国际行动援助是一个以消除全球贫困为宗旨的公益性国际联盟组织。1972年成立于英国,2004年总部迁到了南非。30多年来,在全球 40多个国家开展工作,通过与2,000多家当地扶贫和民间组织密切合作,帮助了上千万最贫穷的人口和弱势群体,改善了他们生存和发展的状况。在未来五年的战略规划中,国际行动援助主要从事与反贫困相关的社区综合发展和政策研究和倡导工作,包括妇女权益保护、教育、公共卫生和艾滋病、粮食权、人类安全和治理等主题领域。
国际行动援助于1998年开始在中国开展工作,并于2001年在北京正式成立了国家办公室。在中国的实践中,国际行动援助中国办公室不仅努力汲取国际行动援助过去30多年来在全球积累的经验,更注重学习和研究在中国政府领导下的反贫困战略所形成的成果、经验和教训,在综合考虑中国贫困现状特点的基础上,深入贫困社区开展工作,通过多种方式与社区人民一起学习,扩展知识,培养技能,进而增强摆脱贫困的能力。
