Addis Ababa,

Action for Development is a registered local non-governmental organization established in 1997 to promote integrated and sustainable rural development in Ethiopia. AFD has ample experience in the area of implementing sustainable human development programs. It evolved from the Freedom from Hunger Campaign/Action for Development (FFHC/AD), a United Nations-supported program which implemented an integrated rural development program in partnership with community organizations and government agencies. Over the last few years, AFD has been implementing integrated rural development programs in the North Omo and Borana zones focusing on basic education, dry land agriculture, income generation, livestock development, training and capacity building, water development, pastoral development, and women in development.
