ActionAid India works in 24 states and 2 union territories through 13 regional offices located in state capitals, and reaches out to more than 12 million poor and marginalized people.

We support 108 long-term projects (working closely with particular communities for between one and ten years) and 105 short-term projects (upto one year). The long term initiatives are implemented by 122 partner NGOs.

Out of 105 short-term initiatives, 69 are handled by 77 partner organisations. ActionAid staff teams with relevant expertise lead 36 short-term projects.

ActionAid’s work in India is organised in a number of thematic areas – HIV and AIDS, Education, Food and Livelihoods, Peace and Security, Women’s Rights – and focuses on work with poor and marginalised social groups including Dalits, indigenous people, urban poor, Muslims and women.

We also have a national tsunami team working in tsunami-affected areas with 32 partner organisations.
