Eastern Africa Regional Technical Working Group on Anticipatory Action

Overview

The Eastern Africa Regional Technical Working Group on Anticipatory Action (RTWGAA) was established by IGAD together with partners in 2023 with the aim to provide coordinated platform to guide and lead harmonization of national approaches to anticipatory action by various stakeholders.

The RTWGAA sub-working groups support the implementation of the six pillars of regional roadmap, as well as keep track of progress, new information, needs and emerging issues, and provide strategic and technical guidance in their thematic areas.
