Acted’s work centers around its 3 Zero Strategy :

• Zero Exclusion, because nobody should be left behind; society is enriched when it can benefit from all the voices and ideas of its members; and the vulnerability of marginalized populations can be reduced by promoting citizenship, inclusive institutions, vibrant civil society, and accountable governance mechanisms, policies and actions. 
• Zero Carbon, because we only have one planet; we want to pass on to our children social, political and economic systems that respect and protect natural balances, flourishing life on land, healthy oceans and seas, an ecologically sound development model and a global governance of the commons. 
• Zero Poverty, because poverty should not hold back potential; poverty is an intolerable entrapment of people who could otherwise contribute to positive change, which is reproduced from generation to generation, it is our collective responsibility to ensure systems promote protection of the most vulnerable and offer opportunities.
