The Regional Mapping of Anticipatory Action in Asia and the Pacific is an annual exercise of the Asia-Pacific Technical Working Group on AA (TWGAA), which aims at better understanding the progression of the approach in the region and informing priority areas for the sustainable growth of AA. After conducting the first regional mapping in April-June 2023, a second iteration of the exercise was conducted between May and July 2024 in 15 countries: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Fiji, Indonesia, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Sri Lanka, Timor-Leste, and Viet Nam.
This report presents the findings from the 2024 mapping exercise. It highlights regional trends on AA in coverage, triggers, actions, finance, evidence and learning, and policy and institutionalization with a comparative analysis of 2023 and 2024 results. As the 2023 mapping results had limitations in capturing what the governments are already doing in terms of AA and their views and challenges in advancing the approach, this year’s mapping extended its scope to cover the government actors through key informant interviews.
