4.1 Findings

4.1.1 Action Aid International

4.1.1.1 Background

Action Aid was founded in 1972 by Cecil Jackson-Cole as a child sponsorship charity for 88 children in India and Kenya with the objective of providing them with education. In the 1980s, the focus of the organisation shifted to tackling the root causes of poverty and not just its symptoms, with the organisation working with different communities to boost agriculture production, improve water supplies, gain access to healthcare and find new sources of income. In the 1990s, the organisation launched campaigns in education and food rights and for the past decade, the organisation has been involved in the fight against poverty and has helped over 13 million people in 42 countries worldwide (Action Aid International, 2012).

4.1.1.2 Goals and Strategy

Action Aid International aims to achieve the following four goals in its fight for the eradication of poverty (Action Aid International, 2012):

- Goal One: poor and excluded people and communities will exercise power to secure their rights

- Goal Two: women and girls will gain power to secure their rights

- Goal Three: citizens and civil society across the world will fight for rights and justice

- Goal Four: states and their institutions will be accountable and democratic and will promote, protect and fulfil human rights for all.

To achieve the above goals, Action Aid's worldwide work is driven by programmes and policies that follow the following five strategic objectives (Action Aid

International, 2012):

- Promoting sustainable agriculture and control natural resources for people living in poverty.

- Advancing the political influence of people living in poverty to hold governments and corporates accountable.

- Improving the quality of public education for all children and support young

people to become drivers of change towards a poverty-free planet.

- Building the resilience of people living in poverty to conflicts and disasters

and respond to disasters with people-centred, rights-based alternatives. - Ensuring that women and girls can break the cycle of poverty and

violence, build economic alternatives and claim control over their bodies.

4.1.1.3 Sector of Activity

Action Aid's worldwide work focuses on the following sectors: Women Rights, Education, Poverty Alleviation, Food and Conflict Resolution.

4.1.1.4 Project Selection and Management

Action Aid's project selection and management process follows its Accountability, Learning and Planning System known as ALPS. The programme cycle of all Action Aid projects consist of four different stages:

- Appraisal and Context analysis: new programmes should be driven by Action Aid's strategy, they should contribute to advancing Action Aid's theory of change

- Strategy: new programmes should be cost effective and should be aligned with Action Aid general strategy

- Implementation: programmes go through a value for money monitoring throughout their implementation. Actions are compared to their outputs, objectives to their outcomes and goals to their impact.

- Evaluation: the evaluation stage analyses the agreed terms of reference of each programme and compares it to the outcomes. The evaluation is under the supervision of the programme evaluation team.
