Anticipatory actions in the Kyrgyz Republic

This initiative involves strengthening national early warning capabilities, linking systems to reach scale, and sustainable financing. Anticipatory Actions projects are dedicated to preventing and mitigating the impacts of extreme weather on the food security and nutrition of highly vulnerable communities. By proactively addressing these elements, the project aims to create a resilient framework that safeguards vulnerable populations from the adverse effects of climate-related challenges. 

The World Food Programme's approach to anticipatory action: 

• WFP’s objective is to create nationally owned systems that incorporate AA to protect selected regions’ most at-risk populations 
• Leveraging WFP’s expertise in building systems across the Kyrgyz Republic, anticipatory action can provide an additional layer of protection against climate risks 
• WFP is already working with the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic to bolster existing disaster management and social protection systems, offering a unique opportunity to scale up anticipatory actions
