Resumen
Descripción
Ahead of the 2023–2024 El Niño-induced hazards, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) implemented anticipatory actions in 24 countries, reaching 1.7 million people with timely and preventive support. The interventions focused on drought, flood and cyclone risks, targeting vulnerable rural communities in Latin America, Africa, Asia and the Pacific with interventions such as cash-based transfers, agricultural input distributions, water conservation technologies, animal health campaigns and training, among others. The aim was to ensure immediate support to the most at-risk countries based on analysis of historical trends, seasonal forecasts, agricultural seasonality and vulnerability of populations at risk. Scaling up anticipatory action is a strategic investment: saving lives and livelihoods today while reducing humanitarian needs over time.
