    Global Overview

    Anticipatory Action in 2024: A Global Overview is the third in a series of annual reports documenting the worldwide status and scale of anticipatory action. Written by the Anticipation Hub in partnership with FAO, OCHA, Start Network, WFP and WHH, the report summarizes the data submitted by partners and other organizations implementing anticipatory action. It also highlights some of the main thematic areas seen in 2024 and sets out recommendations for the future of this approach.
