KEY HIGHLIGHTS
• Madagascar was hit by back-to-back cyclones, exacerbating an already fragile humanitarian context.
• WFP ‘s disaster risk financing mechanisms allowed proactive actions before the shock and triggered pre-arranged funding to quickly assist affected populations. It was the first time WFP intervened ahead of a forecasted cyclone in Africa.
• Severe funding constraints hinder a response at scale, with WFP requiring USD 12 million to assist cyclone affected populations.
