Action Against Hunger (ACF) has been operational in Nigeria since 2010 and has been able to successfully implement integrated programs in Nutrition, Health, Food Security and Livelihoods (FSL) and Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH). Further, the mission has expanded its programs in the wake of conflict in Borno state since 2017, focusing on long-term sustainable programs focused on system strengthening for the Health, WASH, Social Protection, and Agriculture sectors. ACF has also been operating in Jigawa and Kano states in the Northwest with social protection, advocacy and policy-level interventions. The mission launched a response in Sokoto state in the Northwest in 2021 following the cholera outbreak. Since 2018, ACF has been among the leading agencies in implementing the Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM) in Northeast and Northwest Nigeria (Borno, Yobe, Jigawa, Kano, Bauchi and Sokoto states) to address the urgent humanitarian assistance to the displaced populations. Currently, ACF is implementing multi-sectoral emergency and development-oriented programs in Yobe, Borno, Jigawa, Kano, Bauchi and Sokoto States reaching  2,732,030 individuals ( 1,133,162 Male; 1,598,868 Female) in the year 2022. Despite the remarkable achievements in the humanitarian sector, ACF, like other humanitarian actors, has been continuously affected by the shrinking humanitarian space due to the security context caused by the operation of non-state armed groups.
