WOMEN OFFER CRUCIAL INSIGHTS NECESSARY TO FURTHER ENGAGE IN OTHER RESPONSE EFFORTS AND TAKE PART IN DECISION MAKING PROCESSES THAT MIGHT INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD OF RECOVERY AND FUTURE PREPAREDNESS. IN 2022, ACTIONAID RESPONDED TO THREE MAJOR HUMANITARIAN CRISES: THE WAR ON UKRAINE, THE EARTHQUAKE IN AFGHANISTAN, AND THE DROUGHT IN EAST AFRICA. IN ALL INSTANCES, OUR EFFORTS WERE WOMEN AND YOUNG PEOPLE-LED AND PRIORITIZED THE MOST OVERBURDENED COMMUNITIES, INCLUDING REFUGEES, FEMALE-HEADED HOUSEHOLDS, AND PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES. GRASSROOTS AND CORPORATE FUNDRAISING ALONE BROUGHT IN JUST OVER $300,000 FOR THE RESPONSES. 562335 90640 0 FOOD AND AGRICULTURE: IN 2022, WE RAISED AWARENESS ON THE DRIVERS OF THE GLOBAL FOOD CRISIS AND ADVOCATED FOR REAL SOLUTIONS. MOST NOTABLY, ACTIONAID CONDUCTED RESEARCH IN 14 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES AND FOUND THAT LOCAL COMMUNITIES IN AFRICA, ASIA, LATIN AMERICA, AND THE MIDDLE EAST WERE DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECTED BY PRICE RISES CAUSED BY THE WAR ON UKRAINE. MANY PAY DOUBLE, TRIPLE, OR IN SOME CASES FOUR TIMES WHAT THEY WERE PAYING FOR FOOD, FUEL, AND FERTILIZER BEFORE THE WAR BEGAN. ACTIONAID USED THIS RESEARCH FOR LOCAL, NATIONAL, AND GLOBAL ADVOCACY POINTING TOWARDS REAL SOLUTIONS THAT PULL PEOPLE OUT OF CRISIS AND PREVENT FUTURE STRUGGLE, INCLUDING UNIVERSAL SOCIAL PROTECTION AND PUBLIC SERVICES, AGROECOLOGY, FOOD RESERVES, AND SHIFTING PUBLIC AND PRIVATE FINANCE AWAY FROM INDUSTRIAL AGRICULTURE AND FOSSIL FUELS. THE SUCCESS OF THIS RESEARCH SECURED MORE FUNDING TO CONDUCT A FOLLOW UP SURVEY AND DIG DEEPER INTO THE IMPACTS ON PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY WOMEN, THROUGH VISUAL STORYTELLING. 252227 13000 0 CLIMATE JUSTICE: AT COP27, THE UNITED STATES AND OTHER WEALTHY COUNTRIES FINALLY AGREED TO THE CREATION OF A "LOSS AND DAMAGE" FUND TO SUPPORT DEVELOPING COUNTRIES REBUILDING AND RECOVERING FROM THE IMPACTS OF A CLIMATE CRISIS THEY HAD LITTLE ROLE IN CREATING. THIS COMES AFTER MANY YEARS OF COLLECTIVE PRESSURE FROM CIVIL SOCIETY; A FIGHT THAT ACTIONAID HAS BEEN A PART OF SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING. AHEAD OF COP27, WE JOINED 150 U.S. ORGANIZATIONS CALLING ON THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION TO STOP BLOCKING THE FUND AND SUPPORTED 13 MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TO ADD TO THIS PRESSURE. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS, WE ALSO MOBILIZED OVER 20,000 PEOPLE TO SIGN A PETITION WITH THE SAME DEMAND. ALL OF THIS TOGETHER ADDED UP TO A COP27 OUTCOME THAT OUR COLLEAGUES IN THE GLOBAL SOUTH ARE RIGHTFULLY CELEBRATING AS AN UNPRECEDENTED VICTORY, EVEN DESPITE THE LACK OF PROGRESS ON OTHER KEY ASPECTS OF THE CLIMATE NEGOTIATIONS. 688739 440784 0 THE REMAINING PROGRAMS INCLUDE LAND RIGHTS & BIOFUELS AND EDUCATION. 688739 440784 0 4341349 true true false true false false false false false false false false false true true true true false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 12 0 true 16 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 9 9 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false AL AR CA FL GA IL KS KY MD MA MI MN MS NH NJ NM NY NC OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WV WI X X RICHARD PAYLING-WRIGHT 2028351240 1220 L STREET NW STE 725 WASHINGTON DC 20005 PATRICIA ZERMENO BOARD CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 IMANI COUNTESS BOARD VICE CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 BURHAN RAZI BOARD TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ROLLIN JOHNSON JR BOARD SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ABID ASLAM BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ATHENA RONQUILLO-BALLESTEROS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 TIMI GERSON BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 GEOFFREY KNOX BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARGOT HOERRNER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 NIRANJALI AMERASINGHE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 142349 0 4087 RICHARD PAYLING-WRIGHT CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER 40.00 X 113484 0 10526 MEREDITH SLATER DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT 40.00 X 104400 0 3121 360233 0 17734 3 false false false 6820516 51668 6820516 462 0 462 6820978 0 0 462 3128641 3128641 270446 67612 162267 40567 953045 591015 125396 236634 17294 7094 3481 6719 124962 61440 26074 37448 105726 53003 24177 28546 22550 0 22550 0 307203 244938 32514 29751 647 647 0 0 82387 14462 42223 25702 29657 29657 0 0 161102 85341 37435 38326 63933 50051 6438 7444 9737 7448 306 1983 7230 0 7230 0 MISCELLANEOUS 32 0 32 0 5284592 4341349 490123 453120 899936 626561 462224 462687 2493174 4152649 28459 28660 31337 12635 791717 3925088 6064951 73519 62155 798684 1413525 872203 1475680 X 124260 254928 2928625 4334343 3052885 4589271 3925088 6064951 1536386 X false true X true false X 0 2424261 3146037 4451430 6195744 6820516 23037988 0 0 2424261 3146037 4451430 6195744 6820516 23037988 13817592 9220396 6634 5718 1755 980 462 15549 0 0 23053537 0.40000 0.37180 X 0 0 0 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 5284592 5284592 414230 103558 0 0 294902 353332 398027 414230 1460491 2190737 216 240 0 0 456 73726 88333 99507 103558 365124 547686 0 0 0 0 0 OFFICE SPACE LEASE RIGHT-OF-USE ASSET 779082 SECURITY DEPOSIT 12635 791717 AFFILIATE PAYABLE 517212 LEASE LIABILITY 896313 1413525 6820978 6820978 6820978 5284592 5284592 5284592 Pt III, Line 4 ACTIONAID USA PERFORMED AN EVALUATION OF UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022, AND DETERMINED THAT THERE WERE NO MATTERS THAT WOULD REQUIRE RECOGNITION IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OR THAT MAY HAVE ANY EFFECT ON ITS TAX-EXEMPT STATUS. true Sub-Saharan Africa 0 0 GRANTMAKING 2628737 South Asia 0 0 GRANTMAKING 190380 Europe 0 1 GRANTMAKING 150277 Russia 0 0 GRANTMAKING 53932 Central America 0 0 GRANTMAKING 43219 East Asia and Pacific 0 0 GRANTMAKING 33238 South America 0 0 GRANTMAKING 17981 Middle East 0 0 GRANTMAKING 10877 0 1 0 1 3128641 3128641 Sub-Saharan Africa EDUCATION 371000 WIRE Sub-Saharan Africa EMERGENCY RESPONSE 960044 WIRE Sub-Saharan Africa FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 90640 WIRE Sub-Saharan Africa WOMEN'S RIGHTS 1162269 WIRE Sub-Saharan Africa OTHER GRANTS 44784 WIRE Europe CLIMATE JUSTICE 13000 WIRE Europe EMERGENCY RESPONSE 49777 WIRE Europe WOMEN'S RIGHTS 87500 WIRE South Asia EMERGENCY RESPONSE 65380 WIRE South Asia WOMEN'S RIGHTS 125000 WIRE Central America EMERGENCY RESPONSE 18219 WIRE Central America LAND RIGHTS 25000 WIRE East Asia and Pacific EMERGENCY RESPONSE 33238 WIRE Middle East EMERGENCY RESPONSE 10877 WIRE Russia EMERGENCY RESPONSE 53932 WIRE South America EMERGENCY RESPONSE 17981 WIRE 1 0 false false false false false false Pt I Line 2 ACTIONAID USA'S CORE PURPOSE IS TO RAISE MONEY IN THE U.S. TO SUPPORT ANTIPOVERTY PROJECTS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES.
