ActionAid South Africa (AASA) and ActionAid Malawi (AM) are part of the global federation of
ActionAid International (AAI), which is a non-governmental organization (NGO) working to promote
social justice, gender equality, and poverty eradication worldwide. ActionAid operates in over 45
countries, including South Africa and Malawi, and focuses on empowering marginalized and
disadvantaged communities to claim their human rights and improve their lives. Guided by feminist
analysis and a Human Rights-Based Approach (HRBA), we see the interconnections between
people’s struggles for social transformation. We ally ourselves primarily with the youth, grass-
roots communities, like-minded organisations and social movements to develop initiatives and
campaigns that address the systemic drivers of poverty, injustice and inequality in Southern Africa.
Through our Human Rights-Based Approach (HRBA) to eradicate poverty and injustice we work in
partnership with people living in poverty and exclusion, partner with non- governmental organisations
(NGOs), community-based organizations (CBOs), communities of practice and women’s movements as the drivers of change in our respective communities.
