SUMMARY OF THE EARLY ACTION PROTOCOL
The IFRC Disaster Response Emergency Fund (DREF) has allocated CHF 550,000 for the implementation of anticipatory actions to reduce and mitigate the impact of Floods in Tanzania. This Early Action Protocol includes an allocation of CHF 133,299 to preposition stock and undertake annual readiness activities in order to implement early actions, if and when the trigger is reached. The early actions to be conducted have been pre-agreed with the National Society and are described in the Early Action Protocol Summary.
This report summarizes the annual readiness and prepositioning activities done in the reporting period.
No revision has been made to the Tanzania Flood Early Action Protocol (EAP) during the reporting period. The agreed-upon trigger thresholds were not met; therefore, early-action activities were not activated. Consequently, no changes were made to the EAP’s geographical coverage, targeted population, intervention strategy, timeframe, or budget.
Despite the non-activation of early actions, the operation progressed as planned through the implementation of the year one readiness activities and pre-positioning of EAP stock, in line with the approved EAP. These included institutional readiness strengthening, procurement and pre-positioning of early action activities, capacity building and coordination. These activities were implemented to maintain operational readiness and ensure the National Society can promptly activate early actions based on forecast-based triggers, enabling timely support before flood impacts occur.
