Countries of Activity
ACTED intervenes in 20 countries spanning 5 zones (Asia, Africa, America, Europe, Middle-East). The organization tries whenever possible to develop a regional approach to crisis situations in countries where cross-border population movements are important facts.
This regional approach is backed-up by an integrated approach enabling ACTED to work in such varied activity fields as micro-economics, public health or even cultural promotion.
Specifically, ACTED has a presence in the following countries :
Afghanistan Chad Congo Democratic Republic of the Congo Haiti India Indonesia Iraq Kyrgyzstan Libya Lebanon Macedonia Nicaragua Pakistan Palestine Serbia Sri Lanka Sudan Tajikistan Uganda Uzbekistan

Famous quotes containing the words countries and/or activity:
“All my life I have lived and behaved very much like [the] sandpiper—just running down the edges of different countries and continents, “looking for something” ... having spent most of my life timorously seeking for subsistence along the coastlines of the world.”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
“To play is nothing but the imitative substitution of a pleasurable, superfluous and voluntary action for a serious, necessary, imperative and difficult one. At the cradle of play as well as of artistic activity there stood leisure, tedium entailed by increased spiritual mobility, a horror vacui, the need of letting forms no longer imprisoned move freely, of filling empty time with sequences of notes, empty space with sequences of form.”
—Max J. Friedländer (1867–1958)
