The Agency for Technical Cooperation and Development (ACTED) is an apolitical, and non-confessional international relief agency created in Afghanistan in 1993. The first projects were initiated in Kabul to bring relief to populations affected by more than 15 years of conflict. ACTED activities then rapidly expanded to the entire country and subsequently to other countries. Today, ACTED is active in 23 countries and develops about 150 projects a year in such diversified activities as among others Emergency Relief, Food Security, Health Promotion Network, Economic Development, and Micro finance. The headquarters for the organization are located in Paris (France). ACTED launched its mission in Nicaragua in 1998, with an emergency response to the devastating impact of Hurricane Mitch. Since then, ACTED has implemented projects in food security, economic development, WATSAN post- emergency assistance; conflict prevention, and the reinforcement of local capacity in preparation and response to natural disasters.
