According to Dominique Burgeon, FAO implements Early Warning Early Action projects worldwide and has recently for example supported anticipatory action in the fight against Desert Locusts in East Africa to reduce the level of damages on farmlands and rangelands and thus reduce impacts on livelihoods and taken measures to prevent households from becoming severely food insecure. FAO has also supported governments across Africa in carrying out predictive analysis for the potential secondary impacts of the Covid pandemic on food systems, markets and agriculture and financed projects in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Zimbabwe aiming to prevent and mitigate the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. FAO is also starting to pilot anticipatory action approaches that address the impact of conflict. According to Dominique Burgeon “this may be a transformative moment for the humanitarian community if we are successful in fully upscaling anticipatory action.” He calls on all agencies to work together across agencies through strong and collaborative partnerships, such as those present within the Global Network against Food Crises and the Risk Informed Early Action Partnerships (REAP) to achieve our goals of scaling up.
