For ActionAid Australia, 2010 was an exciting year as it marked our first full calendar year working in Australia.
Internally, the year was full of transition and ambitious projects, while externally the continued shocks from the global food, climate and financial crises, as well as disasters such as those in Pakistan and Haiti, increased the need for our work.
These multiple crises made life that much more difficult for the people with whom we work around the world.
With increased funding from the Australian Government’s aid program through AusAID, we supported the federation’s work in countries including Cambodia, Indonesia, Nepal, Pakistan and the occupied Palestinian territories.
