Learning from Anticipatory Action with the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UN-OCHA)

Anticipatory action provides support to households in advance of a crisis, offering a revolutionary approach to humanitarian aid that—until now—typically starts after a crisis. The Centre is supporting UN-OCHA to capture learning in its first anticipatory action pilots.

Process learning reports

Beneficiary assessments

Our process learning work is identifying the challenges in implementing anticipatory action pilots. We are supporting beneficiary assessments to better understand the needs and preferences of beneficiaries through listening to their experiences of receiving aid.

Impact evaluation

We worked with the University of Oxford to quantify the impact on welfare outcomes of cash transfers provided by the World Food Programme in the pilot in Bangladesh.
