Anticipatory action in Asia and the Pacific: results of the 2023 regional mapping

Between April and June 2023, the Asia-Pacific Technical Working Group on Anticipatory Action (TWGAA) conducted a regional mapping exercise of anticipatory action. The exercise aimed to gain a better understanding of the current state of anticipatory action in Asia and the Pacific and inform potential priority areas that could benefit from more support from the regional community of practice to advance anticipatory action in the short to medium term.

This report presents the findings from the mapping exercise, which were utilised to shape the TWGAA’s Regional Roadmap 2023–2027. These results provide a foundation for a participatory roadmap development process that included in-person and online consultations with TWGAA members and partners in Kathmandu, Nepal in June–July 2023. The structure of this report therefore follows the roadmap’s action areas with chapters on coverage, triggers, actions, finance, evidence and learning, and policy and institutionalization.
