Anticipatory Action Plan for Drought: Sanaag, Sool – Somaliland/Somalia

This plan shows how anticipatory action helps drought-affected communities in the regions Sool and Sanaag (Somalia/Somaliland) act before a crisis unfolds. This anticipatory action model is a gender-focused, locally led, actionable trigger- and threshold-based anticipatory action plan (AAP) that corresponds directly to observed and forecast drought impacts expected to emerge in the targeted regions of Somaliland. Hence, a trigger mechanism was set up, activating the AAP and implementation of anticipatory actions that aim to reduce the drought hazard risks expected to emerge in the targeted regions Sool and Sanaag. The mechanism enables the activation of the AAP and the release of pre-agreed finance from the WAHAFA fuel funding.
