Applying anticipatory action ahead of disease outbreaks and epidemics: a conceptual framework for the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement
This working paper contributes to building a common understanding of the concept of anticipatory action for disease outbreaks and epidemics across the International Red Cross Red Crescent Movement. It offers a useful synthesis of the current theory to guide National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies wishing to apply anticipatory action for epidemics. It was developed by the Red Cross Red Crescent Working Group on Anticipatory Action and Health, and the research was supported by the Norwegian Red Cross.
