Did you know that for the IFRC, our anticipatory action story began in Africa? In 2014, some innovative and courageous colleagues from the Climate Centre, German Red Cross, Uganda Red Cross (looking at Irene!) and Togo Red Cross decided to pilot a project on anticipatory action. From these two pioneering pilots, we now have 30 National Red Cross Red Crescent Societies worldwide implementing FbF. We are thankfully not alone in the journey! Beginning with WFP, and now with FAO, OCHA and the START Network to join forces in anticipatory action - together, we are working in over 60 countries worldwide.
