In this session we will hear from four actors involved in anticipatory humanitarian action in three countries regarding their experiences adapting to COVID-19. In Bangladesh and the Philippines, actors focused on adapting existing early action protocols and overarching frameworks for action to COVID-19. In Afghanistan, FAO worked to anticipate the impacts of COVID-19 beyond the public health sector. Each panelist will have an opportunity to reflect on how COVID-19 affected their overall operations, how they adapted, and the lessons each learned for future practice and for managing multiple risks more broadly.
