ActionAid is changing. We are moving on from just fighting against poverty – to working for long lasting solutions to poverty.

Our new strategy for 2012-2017, we have made ten key promises to change the world: 

• securing women’s land rights
• promoting sustainable agriculture
• holding governments to account on public services 
• achieving redistributive resourcing of development 
• transforming education for girls and boys
• harnessing youth leadership to end poverty and injustice
• building people’s resilience to conflict and disaster
• responding to disasters through rights
• increasing women’s and girls’ control over their bodies
• generating women-centred economic alternatives 

We also lay organisational priorities: to  transform our leadership, improve our systems, diversify our income and harness the remarkable people-power of our staff, our committed Boards and Assemblies, our volunteers and supporters. 

To deliver on this new strategy we need to build deeper connections – linking people and movements across the planet and across issues, connecting our work locally, nationally and globally.  

And we need to strengthen our human rights based approaches – with a new emphasis on changing attitudes and behaviours, harnessing the power of mass communications and campaigning.
