end of the decade* its wor0 had e!panded to include long$term health* sanitation and
agricultural pro-ects that would improve living conditions for children and their

From the mid seventies* the focus of its wor0 started shifting. From solely providing

tac0ling the root causes of poverty* not -ust the symptoms. #here are many comple!
and inter$related causes of poverty. ,igh child mortality and malnutrition* high 'irth
rates* low literacy rates* limited access to clean water and sanitation* health care and
education* insufficient land to grow food and lac0 of credit to 'uy seeds and tools $

communities to 'oost agricultural production* improve water supplies* gain access to
'asic healthcare and find new sources of income. /rograms in education* agriculture*
health* water* s0ills training and helping people to organie and access savings and
credit were integrated so that each supported the other. +t also helped communities

A rights$'ased approach to development implies* as mentioned in "%(/ +++* recognition of the
rights of people not only to fulfill their 'asic needs* 'ut also to treat them with equal dignity
and realie their creative potential and state o'ligations to create an ena'ling environment for
assertion of their fundamental rights. +n the promotion of the rights$'ased approach to end
poverty and in-ustice* the concepts of equality* citienship and -ustice are critical.
#his evolution has 'een the imperative of the empirical e!perience that the organiation
gained through its long and deep involvement in com'ating poverty and 0nowing its
structural causes. Huestions of rights of women* e!cluded groups and the livelihoods of the
poor and the marginalied now occupy a front seat.
At present AAB wor0s in 34 districts and has more than 7 local and community$'ased
partner organiations. @hile AAB sets its own strategy* it is an international organiation
with national accounta'ility. #he unity with ActionAid +nternational is in the common
vision* mission and values* this ena'les AAB to ta0e a determined action in the fight to
eradicate poverty and esta'lish equal rights.
From its inception to the present times* AAB moved from the regional to the thematic
approach in its wor0. ,owever the core values remain unchanged. #here are "7 ongoing
pro-ects with ma-or donors and child sponsorship continues to 'e a ma-or source of fund.
#he present %ountry (trategy /aper +++ of AAB focuses on I;quality* %itienship and
Justice which sums up the core concerns of AABs wor0.
A new %ountry (trategy /aper was initiated in 7* which required operational changes to
cope with new challenges. As a result* there has 'een a change from regionaliation to
thematic programs 'ased on AABs learning* e!perience and history of wor0 for 'etter
coherence. #he themes are now pursuing to achieve specific strategic o'-ectives and this has
provided greater space to engage the partners and other actors 'oth at the local and nationallevel. @ith stronger position at the policy ma0ing level* there is now increased synergy in
