Nepal: National Anticipatory Action Framework 2026

The National Anticipatory Action Framework provides the foundation for scaling up anticipatory action across Nepal. The framework also sets out the three essential building blocks for implementing anticipatory action effectively, including: risk information, forecasting and early warning mechanisms; pre-agreed actions; and pre-arranged financing. Importantly, it clearly defines the roles and responsibilities of key stakeholders. For example, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority (NDRRMA) has the lead role in coordinating, managing and guiding anticipatory action, in collaboration with relevant ministries, humanitarian organizations, development partners and local actors.
