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 Danish Refugee Council is a member of the Anticipation Hub, and we work with diaspora groups on anticipatory action, notably in our global project AHEAD.

The event will take place online and in person in Berlin. Members of organizations that are partners of the Hub who would like to participate in-person, can reach out to [email protected] (in coordination with the organization‘s Hub focal point).
