Outcome Document Commitments - Grand Bargain Caucus on Scaling Up Anticipatory Action

Attachments

Introduction

Anticipatory action has proven to be an effective and efficient instrument to prevent and reduce human suffering from predictable shocks before they unfold. This is increasingly important against the backdrop of decreasing humanitarian funding and persistent needs driven by escalating and protracted conflicts and the expanding impact of the climate crisis. Moreover, anticipatory action has proven to have the potential to promote accountability to affected populations and to strengthen localised and locally-led approaches. With the endorsement of the Grand Bargain 3.0 framework in June 2023, signatories affirmed the potential of the Grand Bargain to catalyse sector-wide transformation towards shrinking humanitarian needs.
