The increasing momentum and the experience from various Anticipatory Action activations and simulations shows the uptake of the AA approach in Asia Pacific and allows partners to move towards institutionalising Anticipatory Action. Recent examples of scaling up Anticipatory Action at the country level highlight the need for national and regional policies that enable humanitarian actors to implement Anticipatory Action and access funds before a hazard event occurs.
This session will discuss risk financing and policy developments of regional actors by looking at their priorities and strategies to further advance the use of Anticipatory Action. The audience will have a chance to ask the panel members questions.
