Anticipatory Action in 2025: A Global Overview

Anticipatory Action in 2025: A Global Overview is the fourth in a series of annual reports documenting the scale of anticipatory action worldwide. It summarizes data concerning the number of activations, active frameworks and frameworks under development in 2025, as well as data on:

• the types of actions implemented
• anticipatory action in fragile, conflict- and violence-affected settings
• the institutionalization of anticipatory action
• donor funding for this approach.

The report also highlights some of the main thematic areas seen in 2025 and sets out recommendations for the future of this approach. 

This report was written by the Anticipation Hub, in partnership with FAO, OCHA, Start Network, WFP and WHH. It was published thanks to the German Federal Foreign Office, which supports the Anticipation Hub.
