HOW CAN ANTICIPATORY ACTION REACH SCALE AND SUSTAINABILITY? LEARNING FROM CERF IN BANGLADESH

Report

25 Aug

Written By Centre for Disaster Protection

This report captures and builds on learning from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) anticipatory action pilot in Bangladesh. This is one of a series of pilots that aim to generate further evidence of anticipatory action’s benefits in reducing the impact of foreseeable disasters. The Centre for Disaster Protection has supported OCHA’s learning from these pilots by capturing lessons and benefits that emerge from the process, as well as advising on strategies to monitor and evaluate the short-, medium- and long-term results. This report differs from other learning outputs produced by the Centre as it takes a forward-looking perspective, and focuses primarily on the question of how anticipatory action can reach scale and sustainability in Bangladesh.

Guidance Note

PROCESS LEARNING FOR DISASTER RISK FINANCING

Guidance Note

This guidance document offers practical steps on how to capture lessons from DRF initiatives, providing an opportunity for real-time reflection and feedback for those designing and implementing DRF systems, as well as key partner organisations. The guidance is designed to help capture and communicate learning on what is working well, which assumptions are holding true (or not) and what needs to be adjusted or changed. This guidance builds on and complements the Centre’s ‘7 Keys to Unlock Effective DRF’. Process learning is particularly relevant to the characteristic of constant improvement – embedding scrutiny and learning into
DRF initiatives to ensure quality and effectiveness.

MALAWI ANTICIPATORY ACTION: PROCESS LEARNING ON TRIGGER DEVELOPMENT

WORKING PAPER

Building on growing evidence that acting prior to the onset of predictable shocks is significantly faster, more dignified, and more cost effective than traditional humanitarian response, UN OCHA has been facilitating the setup of multiple anticipatory action frameworks, including this one in Malawi. This report offers lessons on the process of developing the trigger for the Malawi AA Framework and captures lessons on how AA pilots are being designed and implemented in real time.

WORKING PAPER

UN OCHA ANTICIPATORY ACTION. LESSONS FROM THE 2020 SOMALIA PILOT

WORKING PAPER

This report looks at key lessons from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) first anticipatory action (AA) pilot for drought in Somalia, designed and endorsed in 2019. The framework triggered in June 2020 based on projected food insecurity due to covid-19, locusts and flooding.
