BookletAnnual reportAnticipatory action: Annual report 2023 2024
Also available in:
No results found.In 2023, about 281 million people in 59 countries faced high levels of acute food insecurity, marking the fifth consecutive year of rising humanitarian needs. Weather extremes were the main driver of food crises in 18 of these countries, and affected the food security of almost 72 million people. Such worrying trends, combined with strained resources, call for scaling up innovative approaches, such as anticipatory action, to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of support provided to vulnerable agriculture-dependent households.This annual report highlights the proactive measures that the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) takes to safeguard agricultural livelihoods and food security against forecast hazards and shocks. In 2023, FAO's anticipatory actions reached over 2 million people across 24 countries, focusing especially on mitigating the effects of El Niño-induced floods and droughts globally. This included the provision of tailored early warnings, trainings, drought-tolerant seeds, animal health support, and conditional and unconditional cash transfers, which have helped farmers and herders keep their animals healthy, sustain agricultural production and safeguard their food security ahead of climate extremes.FAO’s regional and national efforts – closely coordinated with partners at all levels – have been instrumental in establishing and implementing anticipatory action frameworks. In 2023, FAO was engaged in 29 anticipatory action protocols serving as effective tools to monitor priority risks and to inform timely interventions ahead of disasters.The report also emphasizes the need for pre-arranged, flexible financing to ensure timely anticipatory action implementation, and highlights successful collaborations with governments, international organizations and local communities. Looking forward, FAO aims to expand its anticipatory action reach, improve early warning systems and strengthen partnerships in the face of food crises.
