🌍 Acted at the 7th French National Humanitarian Conference

On October 6, Acted, represented by CEO Marie-Pierre Caley and Vice-CEO Pascal Bernard, took part in the French National Humanitarian Conference, a key moment for dialogue on the future of humanitarian action.

The conference provided an opportunity to reaffirm the strong relationship of trust between Acted and the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs’ Crisis and Support Centre (CDCS), which has supported Acted’s responses to major crises throughout 2026.

The discussions notably highlighted the importance of localisation, an approach that Acted actively promotes through its global initiatives 3ZERO, Catalyst and Agora, which seek to strengthen locally led solutions and cooperation between humanitarian actors, civil society, institutions and the private sector.

Another key focus was the need to diversify humanitarian funding. Public-private partnerships and innovative financing mechanisms can help mobilise new resources and develop more sustainable responses.

These exchanges reinforced a shared conviction: responding to today’s humanitarian challenges requires stronger local leadership, broader partnerships and innovative approaches to financing humanitarian action.

🌍 Promoting climate finance and regional collaboration in Eastern Europe and Central Asia

Acted was pleased to take part in the Climate Fund (GCF) Regional Dialogue for Eastern Europe and Central Asia in Tbilissi.

Represented by Technical Director for Climate and Environment Laura Simpson, the Acted team joined a diverse group of partners committed to accelerating climate action and strengthening access to climate finance. Throughout the week, participants exchanged experiences, explored regional priorities, and discussed practical solutions to turn climate ambitions into investment-ready projects.

🤝 The discussions highlighted several key priorities:

• strengthening international collaboration;
• identifying new opportunities for climate investment across public and private sectors;
• supporting the development of strong environmental projects ;
• advancing both adaptation and mitigation initiatives with lasting impact;
• fostering partnerships that can help translate climate commitments into concrete action.

💡 Through hands-on workshops, peer learning sessions, and networking opportunities, the Dialogue provided a valuable platform for sharing knowledge, aligning priorities, and building partnerships that can drive climate resilience across the region.

Acted is proud to contribute to these important conversations and to work alongside partners committed to advancing effective, locally informed, and investment-ready climate solutions.

We look forward to continuing these exchanges and supporting efforts to strengthen climate resilience and sustainable development across Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

Rebuilding access to water and sanitation in Madagascar

Following Cyclone Gezani, communities in Madagascar’s Atsinanana region have been working to restore essential services and rebuild safer living conditions.

📍In Antetezambaro, access to safe water, sanitation facilities and hygiene supplies remains a priority.

Working alongside local actors and partners, Acted is supporting an integrated water, sanitation and hygiene response:

💧 Three newly constructed boreholes are expanding access to safe water for more than 1,000 people.
🚻 Rehabilitated sanitation facilities are improving hygiene conditions at the local secondary school, the Aina shelter and across Antetezambaro.
🧼 375 households, representing around 1,250 people, received hygiene kits adapted to locally identified needs.
🤝 Community members are also taking part in hygiene-awareness sessions : with training from local partners, water-management committees are building the skills needed to manage and maintain the water points over time.

By combining infrastructure, essential supplies and community-led management, the project aims to strengthen healthier practices and support lasting access to water and sanitation.

🌍 Global Meetup #7 | Down to Earth: A Conversation about Nature as a Rights Holder

Today, the global 3ZERO Houses community, in partnership with Altercop , came together to explore a fundamental question: What if nature were no longer just a resource to be managed, but a subject of rights in its own right?

Bringing together experts, practitioners, legal scholars, innovators and engaged citizens from diverse regions of the world, the discussion explored how we can move from an anthropocentric vision of development to a more balanced relationship with the living world.

💬 Throughout the session, participants actively contributed to the conversation, sharing perspectives from their own contexts and raising insightful questions on environmental governance, community empowerment, indigenous knowledge, legal representation of nature, and the future of sustainable development.


The conversation highlighted the need to:

🌿Recognize the intrinsic value of nature, beyond its economic value alone.

🌿Draw on the knowledge and practices of local and Indigenous communities.

🌿Develop economic models capable of creating more value while consuming fewer resources.

🌿Educating a new generation of citizens, professionals, and legal experts committed to protecting ecosystems.

🌿Fostering local solutions to influence public policy on a larger scale.

This conversation was not merely a reflection on the future. It was a call to take action today to build a fairer world for both humans and all living things.

"No one will thrive on a sick planet […] Only with awareness can we drive action."
Keynote speaker Esther An, Chief Sustainability Officer, City Development Limited

Thank you to AlterCOP, our keynote speaker Esther An, our moderator Patrixia Santos, our panelists Marine Calmet, Shujaul Mulk Khan, Heminda Jayaweera, and Mario Maderazo for their inspiring insights, and to all participants whose questions, experiences and contributions made this discussion truly global.

🏥 Strengthening health facilities through rehabilitation and infrastructure improvements.
💧 Rehabilitating water infrastructure and water supply systems.
🎓 Supporting vocational training programmes and skills development opportunities.
🤝 Assisting displaced populations through protection, governance and information management mechanisms.

Rebuilding livelihoods in Yemen

Years of conflict continue to disrupt lives across Yemen, preventing millions of people from accessing stable sources of income.

🔧 When Saleh* and his family moved from Sana’a to Taiz, he lost the tools, workspace and economic stability he relied on. What remained, however, was a valuable skill: the mechanics expertise he had learned from his father.

Saleh first received Multi-Purpose Cash Assistance to help his family meet essential needs during a period of uncertainty. Once his immediate situation had stabilised, he participated in a business training, and a conditional grant enabled him to establish his own workshop and invest in the tools needed to restart his profession.

Today, Saleh runs a mechanic workshop alongside his father, generating a steady income for his household and building a stronger future for his family. What began painful displacement has become a story of recovery, resilience and renewed opportunity.

💬"With the support, my life and my family's life have changed. […] What I earn now is enough for us to get by and to build further."
– Saleh

🤝 With the support of the European Union through the Cash Consortium of Yemen (CCY), led by DRC and implemented with Acted, NRC - Norwegian Refugee Council , Mercy Corps and Solidarités International , with IOM - UN Migration ation serving as a technical partner.
