Resumen
Descripción
In the context of an existential funding crisis, soaring levels of humanitarian need and a spiralling number of extreme weather events, each dollar spent must go further. There is key evidence showing that anticipatory action provides a cost-effective and efficient way for life‑saving assistance that addresses humanitarian needs while strengthening resilience to predictable risks. Strong interagency coordination amplifies these benefits by improving resource allocation, reducing duplication of efforts, and fostering a more cohesive and timelier, prioritized response.The publication provides a non-exhaustive list of findings drawn from evidence generated by FAO, OCHA, WFP and other organizations, reflecting broad insights and experiences from across the sector.
