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

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.

MALAWI ANTICIPATORY ACTION: PROCESS LEARNING ON TRIGGER DEVELOPMENT

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.
