Descripción
Fiji was selected as a pilot country for a coordinated anticipatory action initiative, funded by the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) and managed by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). The selection followed the first Pacific Anticipatory Action Week, where representatives from 15 governments and key regional development partners came together to chart a collective path forward.The Anticipatory Action Framework for Tropical Cyclones in Fiji is a multi-sector, multi-partner initiative led by the National Disaster Management Office, with coordination support from OCHA. It brings together a range of United Nations agencies, including FAO, WFP, UNICEF, IOM, UN Women, UNFPA, WHO, and UNDRR, alongside the Fiji Red Cross Society (FRCS) and other humanitarian and government partners.This brief highlights key lessons learned from the collaboration between FRCS and FAO during a simulation exercise conducted in June 2024. Focusing on the agriculture and fisheries sectors, the simulation provided valuable insights into the anticipatory action process, its application with local communities, and opportunities for scaling the approach.
