In 2024, World Vision (WV) implemented a pilot project on Anticipatory Action (AA) in Marsabit County, Kenya, focusing on communities where WV has ongoing long-term development programming. Funding for the project was provided by Aktion Deutschland Hilft (ADH). The project focused on building local ownership and capacity, while ensuring that anticipatory actions benefitted all members of the community, including those most marginalised and hardest to reach. This paper outlines this approach and illustrates some of the positive impacts of the project.
