Action Against Hunger (ACF) is recognized as a global entity engaged in the enhancement of health systems, water treatment and sanitation, mental health support, food stability, and economic well-being. A registration certificate, issued by the Civil Society Commission in Libya, is held by the organization.

Operations in Libya were initiated by Action Against Hunger in March 2020, starting with its first mission in Eastern Libya, Benghazi. Subsequently, an expansion was made with the opening of an office in Libya’s capital, Tripoli, in October 2020, and a branch in Southern Libya in December 2021. In response to the devastating impact of the Daniel storm in Eastern Libya in September 2023, the Benghazi base was reopened by the organization, having been closed previously in June 2023. Efforts in Eastern Libya included the provision of essential non-food items and mental and psychosocial support to internally displaced persons (IDPs) and those affected by the storm. Activities were concluded on March 28, leading to the closure of the Benghazi base again due to lack of fund.

Registration and renewal processes with the authorities in Tripoli and Benghazi have been successfully navigated by the organization, ensuring continuity in its operations despite varying procedures. A strategy centered on local engagement and transparency has proven crucial for establishing and maintaining robust relationships and networks with key stakeholders across the country.
