Child-centered and Locally-led Anticipatory Action: A Learning and Evaluation Synthesis

Save the Children commissioned this study to assess the added value of child-centered, community-based, gender-sensitive AA, and explore good practice examples for scaling up.

It specifically aims to:

1. Consolidate findings from evaluations and case studies on SC’s anticipatory action initiatives to inform future project design and strategic decisionmaking
2. Identify achievements and enabling factors in reducing predictable crisis impacts and strengthening community resilience through child-centered, locally-led approaches
3. Illustrate how children and local community groups contributed to AA efforts, and provide practical examples on how to amplify their leadership role
4. Identify implementation challenges and recommend improvements to embed child-centered AA within broader adaptation, humanitarian, development, disaster risk management programming and financing systems
