ActionAid International announces that it has mutually agreed with Ms. Julia Sanchez to end her term as Secretary General. We thank Ms. Sanchez for her contribution to the work of ActionAid during her time with us and wish her success in her future endeavours.

Arthur Larok, AAI’s Federation Development Director, has taken on the role of Secretary General in the interim as we launch a global search to identify the next permanent role holder. Arthur has been in the organisation for 10 years, six years as Country Director of ActionAid Uganda and four years in his current role as Director, Federation Development. We are confident that he has the skills, experience and feminist leadership qualities the organisation needs. Arthur, the senior leadership team and trustees are working closely together to ensure that ActionAid’s vital work continues without disruption.
