Organizational Context:
Anticipatory action is increasingly recognized as a key solution to reduce the impacts of climate
- and weather-related hazards. By developing pre-agreed plans with agreed triggers for action (based on risk analysis and forecast) tied to pre-arranged financing, the approach enables action ahead of a disaster, at the right time, to reduce the potential negative impact of hazards on people, assets and livelihoods.
There is now clear evidence that anticipatory action is expanding in scale globally.
The Anticipation Hub's
Anticipatory Action in 2023:
A Global Overview
report revealed that 125 organizations worldwide were engaged in developing anticipatory action frameworks in 2023, either as a coordinator or a partner. The report identified 107 active anticipatory action frameworks across 47 countries. A further 133 frameworks were being developed in 68 countries, for 19 different hazards.Compared to 2022, these figures represent a 43 per cent increase in the number of people covered by frameworks; and a 37 per cent increase in the number of frameworks being developed.
Several factors contributed to these positive trends, including the increasingly central role played by Governments in driving anticipatory action at the national level.
Progress in adapting national disaster risk management systems to incorporate anticipatory action is reported in countries including Bangladesh, Ecuador, Malawi, Mozambique, Nepal, Pakistan, the Philippines and Sierra Leone.
As such, supporting government leadership, endorsement, and institutionalization of this approach within disaster risk management laws, policies, operational plans and procedures is an important responsibility of anticipatory action actors.
This has been broadly recognized by the inter-agency Anticipatory Action Task Force and is included as a key operative paragraph in the draft resolution tabled for endorsement at the October 2024 International Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent.
In the context of IFRC's role in leading Pillar 4 (Preparedness to respond to warnings) of the Early Warnings for All (EW4All) initiative, as well as the resolution on anticipatory action tabled for endorsement at the 34th International Conference (IC34) of the Red Cross and Red Crescent which includes an operative paragraph encouraging States to integrate anticipatory action into their domestic frameworks and systems relating to DRM and climate change and calling on Red Cross Red Crescent Movement components to support this process, this consultancy aims to conduct research on government-led anticipatory action and the integration of anticipatory action into domestic systems, as well as the role of National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (NS) in supporting governments.
Some examples of government-led anticipatory action have been included in the recent Anticipation Hub Overview Report and REAP State of Play reports, however there is a need for enhanced understanding on how anticipatory action _could be_ integrated in national systems, how anticipatory action _has been_ integrated to date, and what has been / could be the _role of National Societies_, as auxiliaries to public authorities, to support such integration.
Job Purpose:
The objectives of this research consultancy are:
- To unpack how anticipatory action could be integrated in domestic frameworks and systems related to DRM, early warning and climate change (i.e. How/where exactly could it be integrated? What are the entry points?) and which Ministry/department has the mandate as well as which others are involved)
- e.
g:
- 1) legal and policy frameworks (across DRM, National Adaptation Plans, budget allocation, etc.)
3) analysis and planning
4) operational capacities strengthening (e.g. training volunteers, strengthening early warnings, forecast skills, logistics supply chain, others)
5) coordination
- To research the state of play in terms of which governments have integrated anticipatory action into their domestic DRM systems, considered leveraging social protection systems, and how (i.e. What is existing practice? Best practices?)
