Snapshot of experiences and good practices from focus countries
2024The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), as one of the leading operational organizations implementing anticipatory action and providing technical advice and normative guidance on corresponding approaches in the agriculture and food security sector, has embarked on a project funded by the Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance of the United States Agency for International Development with the aim to capture emerging and good practices to improve community engagement in anticipatory action. In this framework, FAO has developed a Compendium of experiences and good practices from focus countries, namely Bangladesh, Guatemala, the Niger and Zimbabwe. The purpose of this Compendium is to share knowledge that will help move towards more context‑specific, conflict-sensitive, inclusive and accountable anticipatory action programming. It is intended for stakeholders involved in anticipatory action, from the local to national and global levels. This document is a summary of the Compendium: it provides a brief overview of its development process and highlights some of the practices, experiences and key learning showcased in the full document. -

Compendium of FAO experiences and good practices in food crisis countries
2025Also available in:
No results found.The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is committed to the localization agenda, in line with the World Humanitarian Summit and the Grand Bargain commitments. This agenda aims to reform the humanitarian system for greater effectiveness and efficiency by empowering local actors and promoting their leadership in humanitarian responses. Between 2022 and 2023, the FAO Office for Emergencies and Resilience collaborated with various Country Offices, the FAO Rural Transformation and Gender Equality Division and the Global Food Security Cluster on a localization project funded by the Swedish International Cooperation Development Agency (Sida). The project aimed to build the capacities of local partners to implement anticipatory actions, respond to food security crises, and promote resilient livelihoods and disaster risk reduction. Knowledge generated from this project was captured through KORE, the FAO Knowledge Platform for Emergencies and Resilience, in collaboration with FAO Decentralized Offices in Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Somalia and South Sudan. The experiences presented in this compendium have been identified and documented using a good practice template tailored around the localization criteria agreed by the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC), the highest-level humanitarian coordination platform of the United Nations System. This compendium serves as a guidance document, defining key terms, outlining commitments at IASC and FAO levels, and capturing promising practices. It aims to build the knowledge base necessary to operationalize localization commitments at various levels and foster a strategic, long-term approach with local and national partners.
