Climate Change Publications
Climate change is one of the greatest obstacles to ending poverty and one of the gravest equity challenges of our time. While the richest countries in the world have been responsible for a disproportionate amount of global carbon emissions which cause global warming, it is the poorest countries in the world that are hit first and worst by climate change.
Critical Stories of Change
Critical Stories of Change are a critical learning tool to help us understand how and why change happens in the places where we work. It is easy to claim credit for progress. Critical Stories of Change create a platform that enables us to critically assess our work and to document it in a way that is generally accessible.
Education Publications
Education is the best tool we have in the fight to end poverty. Yet 77 million children – 60 percent of them girls – around the world are denied their right to a primary education. Girls are hit the hardest by these barriers. Each year a girl spends in school reduces her risk of being infected by HIV & AIDS, of early marriage, and increases her financial well-being.
Emergencies Publications
Disasters and conflict across the world disrupt the lives of more than 500 million people every year. These emergencies consistently and disproportionately impact poor people and communities. Limited access to information, lack of resources to prepare and respond, and inadequate government protection often leave the world’s poor at the greatest risk.
Food Rights Publications
We have an obligation to the 963 million people who go hungry every day to ensure that all people have access to the food they need to sustain themselves and their families.
HIV and AIDS Publications
AIDS causes the deaths of approximately 8,200 people every single day, the majority of them in poor countries. International trade rules mean that drugs to treat the disease are too expensive for most poor people; the scope of the disease means that parents die and children are left both orphaned and head of the family; badly maintained infrastructures mean there are no doctors or health clinics for over 20 miles.
International Policy Publications
About half of the all money spent to end poverty, hunger and HIV & AIDS never reaches the people it was intended to benefit. Creating policies that make aid less accessible and less relevant to the needs of the people it is intended to benefit makes an already difficult job still more challenging.
Research and Publications on Issues of The IMF Project
Education and access to quality healthcare are crucial to ending poverty. And from ActionAid’s perspective, they are also basic human rights enshrined in international law.
Women's Rights Publications
Seven in ten women around the world live in poverty, compared to one in three men. Worldwide, women work two-thirds of the work hours and earn one-tenth of the income. The economic inequality means women have less money, protection from violence and access to education and healthcare – and no power to change this equation.
