Technical Focus

A strategic shift from responding to predictable shocks to anticipating their impacts has the potential to break the cycle of growing dependence on humanitarian aid. This approach, commonly known as anticipatory action, establishes risk-monitoring systems linked to flexible finance and standard operating procedures by delivering support to protect people’s lives and livelihoods ahead of forecast shocks.

Anticipatory action can be delivered through a variety of modalities, including through national social protection systems. Social protection systems consist of policies and programmes designed to address economic, environmental and social vulnerabilities to food insecurity and poverty. Linking anticipatory action to social protection means making better use of existing programs, delivery mechanisms and infrastructure to reach and proactively support vulnerable populations ahead of forecast shocks.

Recognizing the clear effectiveness of this approach, the Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (DG ECHO) established a three-year Pilot Programmatic Partnership (PPP) with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to explore and strengthen the critical link between these two approaches. It aims to achieve three key goals: (1)  build up and test anticipatory action systems (2)  influence partners, both government and agencies,  to act earlier and (3) unpack how anticipatory action and social protection can be connected.
