Our vision:  

A world where the impact of disasters are reduced through anticipatory action  

The Anticipation Hub envisions a world that has an effective anticipatory humanitarian system which also informs, inspires and supports collaboration across the climate and development sectors to manage risks. 


Our mission:  

To facilitate knowledge exchange, learning, guidance and advocacy for practitioners, scientists and policymakers that supports them to jointly work with at-risk communities to collectively achieve anticipatory action. 

Our aims:  

The Anticipation Hub aims to support practitioners, scientists and policymakers, to do more anticipatory action, do it better and do it together, to jointly embed a culture of anticipatory action inside and beyond the humanitarian sector. 

Our strategic priorities: 

The Anticipation Hub’s three strategic priorities are to 1) stimulate learning, innovation and exchange, 2) provide guidance and support and to 3) promote sustained policy & advocacy efforts within and beyond the humanitarian system.
