I. ACTED

ACTED est une association de solidarité internationale française qui a pour vocation de soutenir les populations vulnérables de par le monde et de les accompagner dans la construction d’un futur meilleur en apportant une réponse adaptée à des besoins précis depuis 1993. ACTED vient en aide aux populations touchées par les crises grâce à une approche à la fois globale et locale, multidisciplinaire et adaptée à chaque contexte. Ses équipes (4000 personnes) interviennent dans 35 pays afin de faire face aux situations d’urgence, pour soutenir les projets de réhabilitations et accompagner les dynamiques de développement. Pour ce faire nos équipes sur le terrain interviennent sur plus de 370 programmes dans les secteurs suivants : aide humanitaire d’urgence, sécurité alimentaire, promotion de la santé, éducation et formation, développement économique, microfinance, soutien institutionnel et dialogue régional, promotion culturelle. Forte de son expérience au plus près des besoins et des situations auprès des communautés vulnérables à travers le monde, ACTED contribue aujourd’hui à l’agenda international en faveur des Objectifs du Millénaire pour le Développement, avec des campagnes de plaidoyer en France et en Europe.

Capital Office : République Centrafricaine National Staff : 150 International Staff : 12 Areas : 3 (Nord-Ouest, Sud-est, Bangui+Sud-ouest) On-going programmes : 12 Budget : 6.2M$

ACTED a entamé son intervention en République centrafricaine en décembre 2007 avec un grand projet de réadaptation de chaussée. Basé sur son expertise dans reconstruction de secours tant dans conflit que situations de conflit pastorale. Alors que la stabilisation se poursuit dans le Nord-Ouest de la RCA, le Sud-Est a vu sa situation humanitaire se dégrader, à cause notamment d’incursions de la LRA, avec une croissance exponentielle du nombre de déplacés et de réfugiés. Depuis 2008 et la signature des accords de paix, ACTED a travaillé à soutenir le relèvement précoce du pays.

En 2010, ACTED a fait évoluer sa stratégie, se concentrant principalement sur la redynamisation économique, la réhabilitation de routes visant à faciliter l’accès humanitaire et les réponses rapides aux mouvements de population.

En 2011 et 2012, ACTED assure le lien entre l’urgence, la réhabilitation et le développement, l’ONG maintenant ses interventions au Nord-Ouest et au Sud-Est du pays, et ouvrant une nouvelle zone d’intervention au Sud-Ouest avec un projet de construction d’écoles.

En 2013, ACTED poursuit ses projets dans le nord-ouest, le sud-ouest et le sud-est du pays. Cependant, le coup d’Etat qui a secoué le pays le 24 mars 2013 a conduit ACTED à adapter ses interventions. Début mai 2013, les projets du nord ouest sont suspendus pour raisons sécuritaires. Les activités du sud-est sont maintenues et ACTED développe actuellement de nouveaux projets d’urgence pour répondre à la crise sanitaire qui sévit à Bangui depuis cette date.
