Our numbers
The profile that emerges from our 2023 Annual Report is of a civil society organization that continues to grow, staying true to its own origins while responding quickly and flexibly to major world events. Throughout the year, AVSI supported over 8 million people with 355 projects in the 42 countries where it works: a "promise of development" that inspires us to look ahead with hope, to tomorrow.

AVSI in numbers
Activity sectors and policy areas
When classifying our activities, we want to represent the multi-sectoral nature of our work, which is common to the majority of our projects. So, we have decided to use a multi-dimensional approach when classifying our activity sectors. Each project is assigned a primary sector, but a project can also be categorized into other sectors and sub-sectors. This approach accounts for the many sectors of a project that very often can be as important as the main one. Our activities have also been broken down into our cross-cutting policy areas of greatest significance. To do this we have considered the approaches we take and our implementation mechanisms. Here, we have broken down our data into projects based on our main sectors of activity and policy areas.
