For more than 40 years, Action Education (formerly Aide et Action), an international association for development through education, has ensured access to quality education for the most vulnerable and marginalized populations, in particular children, girls and women, so that everyone can control their own development and contribute to a more peaceful and sustainable world.
Because access to quality education makes it possible to fight poverty and disease, limit climate change and build peace in a sustainable world, we promote lifelong learning. . Thus, we pay particular attention to early childhood education and protection, access and quality of education at primary and secondary levels, as well as vocational training and social integration.
By basing our intervention on the values of dignity, inclusion and integrity, as well as on the principles of action of transparency, accountability and solidarity, and thanks to the support of our 51,500 donors, we we are currently carrying out more than 80 projects in 16 countries (in Africa, Asia and Europe) for nearly 1.5 million children, young people and adults.
In 2024, the Action Education budget is €26 million. We employ around 600 people, including 550 directly in our countries of intervention.
In 2020, the association defined its strategic orientations for the period 2020 – 2029, implemented through 2 phases 2020 – 2024 and 2025 – 2029.
