14th Global Dialogue Platform on Anticipatory Humanitarian Action

Description

Over the past decade, anticipatory action has grown from pilot initiatives into an established approach for protecting people ahead of predictable crises. The collective efforts of humanitarian organizations, governments, communities, scientists, and donors have shown that acting early can save lives and livelihoods, reduce humanitarian impacts, and make better use of available resources.

Under this year’s theme, ‘Connecting efforts, strengthening systems, enabling scale: financing the future of anticipatory action’, the 14th Global Dialogue Platform will bring together the anticipatory action community to explore what is needed to sustain and scale what we have collectively built.

Discussions will centre on three areas:

1. Making the most of available resources
2. Connecting with new partners and sources of finance
3. Strengthening regional, national, and local systems for sustainable scale

The Global Dialogue Platform is hosted by the Anticipation Hub, a joint initiative of the German Red Cross, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, and the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre, and organized in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the World Food Programme, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, Start Network, Welthungerhilfe and the Danish Refugee Council, with support from the German Federal Foreign Office. The programme is developed in close consultation with stakeholders working on issues related to this year’s theme, including (among others) the Risk-informed Early Action Partnership, the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction, Climate Risk and Early Warning Systems and the Global Shield.
