Samuel Clendon provides an overview on WFP's activities in Asia-Pacific. WFP's vision for the next decade is to scale-up anticipatory action globally. "We need to realize that the set-up of anticipatory action needs time. We really need to be realistic in our planning and ambitions", Samuel says. Another important point is coordination, national, regional and global Dialogue Platforms are one good way to ensure exchange, as more and more actors are starting. Further, a common analytical framework is needed. In terms of sustainability, what is needed according to Samuel: "We need to further mainstream AA into governmental systems."
