Acted Canada

Our mission is rooted in a commitment to serve the most vulnerable populations, integrating sustainable solutions into all of our work. In the Canadian civil society sphere, we are recognized for our dynamic participation and significant contributions to discussions on climate adaptation, humanitarian relief, and gender equity. By creating strategic partnerships and advocating for impactful policies, Acted Canada enhances the effectiveness of our global missions, embodying a spirit of innovation and a continuous drive for positive change.

Millions of vulnerable people around the world need humanitarian assistance today, and hundreds of millions will need it tomorrow, in the face of the growing threat of climate change. Our vision is guided by the motto “Think Local – Act Global” – reflecting the need to rely on a deep understanding of local territories and contexts to develop and implement actions based on local knowledge, structures and capacities. This local thinking contributes to a global response – running through all Acted programming and operations – as we work together towards the building of a 3ZERO world: a world with Zero Exclusion, Zero Carbon, and Zero Poverty.

We pursue a triple mandate as a humanitarian, environmental and development aid actor, contributing to the relief, stabilisation, and recovery of crisis-affected people in fragile areas.
