This session is designed for newcomers to Anticipatory Action. AA is a mechanism that enables access to humanitarian funding for early action based on in-depth forecast information and risk analysis. The goal of AA is to anticipate disasters, prevent their impact, if possible, and reduce human suffering and losses.
A key element of AA is that the allocation of financial resources is agreed in advance, together with the specific forecast/impact threshold that triggers the release of those resources for the implementation of early actions. The roles and responsibilities of everyone involved in implementing these actions are defined in the Early Action Protocol (EAP) or Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). This ensures the full commitment of the implementation among the involved stakeholders.
