At the heart of AHA’s work is community based service provision, where assisted populations are both partners and beneficiaries of the services AHA delivers. AHA uses different approaches to build local capacity and implement its programmes. AHA works in partnership with donor communities towards the achievement of proper implementation of humanitarian programs and has gained trust and support from the beneficiary communities and donor communities. AHA adheres to the standards and regulations of donor agencies and establishes strong working relationships with the donor agencies, implementing partners, local authorities, and other governmental and non-government organizations/institutions in project areas.

AHA also endeavours to efficiently utilise scarce human, financial and material resources, and hence, in this respect, it introduces workable administrative and operational policies and procedures as well as bring together a small but strong work force that is efficient, committed, productive, focused, and result-oriented.

With more than two decades of experience as an international African NGO working in the field, AHA also plays an ever increasing role in international advocacy. AHA regularly attends international forum as the only southern based representative and play a crucial role in delivering an African voice to the international humanitarian sphere.
