I. Background on ACTED
ACTED is an independent international, private, non-partisan and non-profit organization that operates according to principles of strict neutrality, political and religious impartiality, and non discrimination.

ACTED was created in 1993 to support populations affected by the conflict in Afghanistan. Based in Paris, France, ACTED now operates in 30 countries worldwide, with over 200 international and 4000 national staff. ACTED has a 100 million € budget for over 350 projects spanning 8 sectors of intervention; including emergency relief, food security, health promotion, economic development, education & training, microfinance, local governance & institutional support, and cultural promotion.

ACTED launched its mission in India at the beginning of 2005 in emergency response to the Tsunami. In 2011, ACTED maintained its disaster response capacity in order to be able to respond rapidly and effectively to disasters in India, with a strong focus on the state of West Bengal. With the objective of strengthening the resilience of communities affected annually by these disasters, disaster risk reduction (DRR) has become a core component of ACTED’s activities, with the implementation of standalone DRR projects, as well as an increased focus on mainstreaming DRR through all projects.

For the India mission, 2012 is another year of response and recovery and consolidation of our DRR experience and capacity, but also the exploration of niche areas where ACTED’s global expertise and local network allow us to make a contribution to the development of some of the most underdeveloped and marginalized communities in the country.
