Resumen
Descripción
An increase in crises and growing humanitarian needs coupled with shrinking resources underscore the need of more cost-effective, impactful actions. 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.
