Invitation for Expression of Interest by Companies for the Provision of Goods and Services at ActionAid Zambia
ActionAid is a global federation working for a world free from poverty and injustice. We want to see a just, fair and sustainable world, in which everybody enjoys the right to a life of dignity, and freedom from poverty and oppression. We work to achieve social justice and gender equality, and to eradicate poverty. Our strategy is to build international momentum for Social, Economic and Environmental Justice, driven by people living in poverty and exclusion. In practice, this means working closely with people living in poverty and exclusion, civil society organizations, social movements and supporters. Together, we deliver grassroots programmes, provide emergency relief and campaign for things such as women’s economic rights, tax justice and climate justice. Our work falls into four broad areas: women, politics and economics, land and climate, and emergencies. We have a particular focus on women’s rights; it’s a thread that runs through all our work.
