No results found.Recognizing that the increasing number of food crises require resources and capacities far beyond the reach of any individual organization, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Food Programme (WFP) are partnering together to scale up the reach of Anticipatory Action. This means acting ahead of predicted hazards to mitigate acute humanitarian impacts before they fully unfold. The two agencies are committed to further strengthening collaboration on selected strategic and technical areas that bring out their comparative strengths and maximize the benefit to communities at risk of shocks to their food security. By partnering on scaling up Anticipatory Action, WFP and FAO commit to: 1. jointly deliver a comprehensive set of Anticipatory Action measures to protect people’s food security from shocks; 2. expand the geographic coverage and anticipation for different types of shocks, beyond hydrometeorological hazards, that can be predicted and affect agriculture and food security; and 3. jointly advocate for the mainstreaming of Anticipatory Action within key policies, processes and institutions, including disaster risk management, social protection and climate change adaptation to enable sustainability and greater cost efficiencies. -

Those actions aim to reduce such needs by protecting lives and livelihoods. A strategic shift from responding to predictable shocks to anticipating their impacts by acting ahead of forecast crises can break the cycle of growing dependence on humanitarian aid. Recognizing the effectiveness of Anticipatory Action (AA), in 2021, the Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (DG ECHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) launched a three-year Pilot Programmatic Partnership (PPP) on "Increasing capacities and scale for Anticipatory Action including through Social Protection systems". By strengthening country capacity in implementing anticipatory actions, the PPP contributes to larger ongoing global efforts towards preventing food crises. It is a critical catalyst to showcase that the way disasters are managed can be changed. Through scaling up efforts to set standards, fostering mainstreaming processes and partnership efforts, there can be a collective shift from a reactive to a preventive humanitarian system. -

Acting before a disaster is crucial – it can safeguard lives and livelihoods, build resilience to future shocks, and ease pressure on strained humanitarian resources. This infographic offers a concise overview of the central thematic components of this approach and the essential stages needed for establishing your own contextualized system.
