Anticipatory Action Simulation Exercise Toolkit and Facilitator Manual

The Anticipatory Action Simulation Exercise Toolkit and Facilitator Manual provides practical guidance for planning, executing, and evaluating simulation exercises to test and strengthen anticipatory action systems. Developed by the Asia-Pacific Technical Working Group on Anticipatory Action, the toolkit walks users through a four-stage process: organizing, developing scenarios, implementing exercises, and conducting evaluations. The toolkit is primarily designed to support governments and partners to test anticipatory action approaches, learn from real-time decision-making, and refine implementation modalities moving forward.
