ACF is operationally working in 2 bases: Hodeida and Aden, with its coordination team located in Sana’a. In total, the Yemen mission counts 269 national staff and 24 international stafIn 2023 Action Against Hunger’s programs in Yemen were supported from various donors including ECHO, GFFO, GAC, OCHA-YHF CIAA and CDCS.  With Action Against Hunger’s global experience in the sectors of Health and Nutrition, FSL and WASH, coupled with our local presence, we have developed programme methodologies that ensure vulnerable populations have access to essential healthcare, while also providing targeted support to food insecure households and addressing some of the public health risks that can cause morbidities.
Since 2015, Aden the interim capital of the Internationally Recognized Government (IRG) has experienced a very volatile political and security environment, leading to several outbursts of violence. ACF is managing to navigate within the complex political and security environment. Acceptance with all actors combined with a solid monitoring of the situation is what allows ACF to implement in the broader South. The ACF guesthouse and office is housed in two multi-storeyed buildings located by the sea in Khormaskar neighbourhood, which is 10 minutes’ drive from the Aden International Airport.

The facility has office space for up to around 30 staff and combined guesthouse space for 5 international staff with some rooms having attached bathrooms and others having shared bathroom.
