DescriptionEducation and Advocacy for More and Better Aid to Agriculture to Benefit Women Smallholder Farmers: ActionAid USA has raised awareness among US media and grassroots audiences about the importance of investment in agriculture for smallholder farmers through blogs, op-eds, press releases and action alerts. ActionAid USA has also provided technical support to USAID on how to better integrate Climate Resilient Sustainable Agriculture (CRSA) approaches into their programming. ActionAid USA encouraged more than 5,000 US citizens to sign on to a petition requesting that the US government remain a leader on agriculture investment at the G8. ActionAid USA successfully engaged the allied Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and built a coalition of CSOs that continue to lobby the US government toward increased and improved aid and investment in agriculture. ActionAid USA advocated for transparency and accountability in international agricultural investments and for investment in a model of small-scale sustainable agriculture to donors countries through engagement with decision makers in the Group of Eight wealthy nation gathering (G8) and the Group of 20 largest economy meeting (G20) and through engagement as a CSO representative to the board of the Global Agriculture and Food Security Program (GAFSP). The result of the coalition lobby effort to USAID, Congress and the US government to ensure continued robust investment in small-scale agriculture models was increased investment in the GAFSP. The effort by ActionAid USA to lobby the US government ahead of the G8 last year to ensure strong accountability on agricultural investments successfully improved the quality of the G8 Accountability Report.Description

DescriptionEducation and Advocacy to Reform US Biofuels Policy, Address Global Food Price Volatility, and Secure Land Rights for Impoverished People: ActionAid USA worked with the Environmental Working Group to Last year's drought across the US farm belt devastated the US corn crop, fueling renewed efforts to reform US biofuels policy as laid out in the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). Members of Congress, state governors, poultry, beef, and milk producers, environmental and development organizations, and many others joined together to petition the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to waive the RFS mandate to alleviate pressure on grain supplies and prices. The combination of a devastated corn crop and inflexible mandates calling for 13.2 billion gallons of ethanol to be blended into US gasoline pushed corn prices to record highs, but nevertheless the EPA refused to waive the mandate.Although ActionAid USA's analysis cast doubt on the utility of a 1 year waiver to alleviate upward pressure on corn prices, the EPA's refusal to grant a waiver illustrated the central problem represented by the inherent inflexibility of US biofuels mandates. This in turn generated a new commitment by a coalition that includes industrial agriculturalists, free marketeers, the grocery and fast food industries, the oil industry, environmental, and development organizations to work for a complete phase out of US mandates for the use of corn ethanol. This represented a significant shift from earlier reform efforts supported by the same coalition which sought to create greater flexibility in US biofuel mandates rather than abolish them entirely. ActionAid USA played a critical role in efforts to take advantage of this new political context as the primary US-based organization illuminating the impact of US biofuels policy on food security and access to land in the global south. In October, we released our report "Fueling the Food Crisis," a comprehensive discussion of the real cost of US biofuels policy for countries around the world in terms of increased prices for corn imports. The report featured a comprehensive literature review of studies demonstrating biofuels' impact on food prices and debunked many of the common arguments put forward by the US biofuels industry. The report included case studies on the impact of US biofuel mandates on Guatemala and Uganda, featuring research done by ActionAid affiliates in those countries. The report generated extensive US press coverage, including a feature story by Elisabeth Rosenthal of the New York Times, who traveled to Guatemala on a trip organized in collaboration with ActionAid US and ActionAid Guatemala to take a closer look at the issues there. ActionAid USA has since used this story extensively in our advocacy efforts with the US Congress, including at well-attended Congressional staff briefings in the US House and Senate. As a result, of this advocacy and press work, ActionAid USA was the only development organization invited to participate in a personal meeting with 4 US Representatives (Goodlatte, Womack, Costa, and Welch) to inform their efforts to craft a RFS reform bill. These 4 US Representatives explicitly sought to create a bill that could be supported by all of the stakeholders they had called into the meeting. Most of the stakeholders present were already coordinating their approach through the informal coalition, where ActionAid US exercises strong leadership. Because of the coalition's strong history of working together on this issue we were able to present a united front in the meeting, insisting that none of us could support legislation unless the concerns of all members of the coalition were addressed, including those of the environmental organizations present and ActionAid USA. As a result, legislation will be introduced April 2013 that if passed would completely phase out US corn ethanol mandates and address US policies that generate increased demand for other land-intensive biofuels such as sugar ethanol and soy biodiesel. ActionAid USA provided feedback to the Congressional offices involved throughout the process of crafting legislation and served as the sole voice ensuring that the impact of US biofuels policy on global food security and access to land be addressed. Although it remains to be seen what the ultimate outcome of the legislative process will be, the introduction of this legislation, supported by a broad coalition of stakeholders, is a key benchmark in our efforts to ensure that US biofuels policy does not jeopardize global access to land or food security.Description

Return ReferenceReturnReferenceExplanationExplanationIdentifierIdentifier
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11The federal Form 990 is first reviewed by the CFO and Treasurer. Then it is reviewed by the Executive Director. Finally it is reviewed by the Audit Committee before it is presented to the Board of Directors for approval before being submitted to the Internal Revenue Service.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cA full written disclosure by every employee, of all material facts of any transaction which has or appears to have, or may involve a conflict of interest by the employee with ActionAid USA shall be made to the Executive Director or Chief Financial Officer upon the learning of such conflict, be it an actual or potential conflict, before executing any such transaction. A full written disclosure by every board member, of all material facts of any transaction which has or appears to have, a conflict of interest by a member of ActionAid USA's board shall be made to the Board Chair upon the learning of such conflict before executing any such transaction. These are updated annually. The Governance Committee reviews all potential conflicts of interest that may arise. Each manager and staff member of ActionAid USA shall disclose a real or potential conflict of interest. They must abstain from the discussion, voting, resolution or action(s) proposed regarding the matter. It would be expected that any interested manager or staff would disqualify themselves. This shall occur prior to discussion at any meeting of the Board or managers of ActionAid USA, or a committee of the Board. Any such abstention from voting (or the like) and the reason given for it shall be recorded in the official minutes of the meeting. A majority of the managers present at any meeting may disqualify a manager from discussing and/or voting on any matter as to which they determine a conflict of interest exists. After full disclosure, however, and with due deliberation, a majority of the disinterested managers may approve or ratify a transaction which involves a conflict of interest with a manager, officer, or employee of ActionAid USA, provided such transaction is fair to ActionAid USA.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19ActionAid USA makes its annual reports, audited financial statements and the federal Form 990 available on its website. Governance policies are also available on the website.
