Scaling up locally-led anticipatory action – so that no one is left behind

A call to action between civil society organisations towards national governments and disaster management agencies, EU member states and donors, and technical agencies.

The messages and actions called for are based on evidence from their work with communities at risk as well as shared experiences of and learning on locally-led anticipatory action.

In this intervention, participatory contingency planning was used to integrate planning for anticipatory action, community planning mechanisms, microgrants (group cash transfers), and the establishment of local actors’ anticipatory action mechanisms.
