ABOUT FIAN

FIAN International is an International Human Rights Organization that has advocated for the realization of the right to food and nutrition for 30 years. FIAN international Zambia is a National section of FIAN International.

 

VISION

FIAN International envisions a world free from hunger and malnutrition, in which every person fully enjoys all human rights, particularly the human right to adequate food and nutrition, alone, in association with others, or as a community, in dignity and self-determination. In pursuit of this vision, FIAN International's mission is to contribute throughout the world to the implemen tation of the provisions of the International Bill of Human Rights and other relevant human rights documents by working for the respect, protection and fulfilment - defined as facilitation, promotion and provision - of the human right to adequate food and nutrition of persons or groups threatened by or suffering from hunger and malnutrition.

 

MISSION

FIAN exposes and addresses violations of people’s right to adequate food wherever they may occur. We stand up against unjust and oppressive practices that prevent people from feeding themselves and their families. The struggle against gender discrimination and other forms of exclusion is an integral part of our mission. We strive to secure peoples access to the resources they need in order to feed themselves now and in the future.
