Welthungerhilfe: Global Dialogue Platform – Welthungerhilfe

Date:

The core of this approach is defining thresholds and pre-agreed assistance measures together with local actors. Funds are committed in advance, allowing for a faster intervention when a disaster is imminent. In South Sudan, for example, Welthungerhilfe and its partner organization, Hope Restoration South Sudan (HRSS), were able to provide cash, tarps, solar lamps, ropes, blankets, and hygiene supplies to 1,037 families in Panyijar County to help them prepare for the predicted floods. In Zimbabwe’s Mbire District, Welthungerhilfe and its partner, Farm Community Trust Zimbabwe (FCTZ), constructed water pipe schemes ahead of the peak of the drought, ensuring safe water access for 440 households. Livestock was also strengthened through vaccinations and supplementary feed, preventing farmers from being forced to sell their animals due to poor harvests and shortage of animal feed.

As a co-organizer of this year’s “Global Dialogue Platform on Anticipatory Action,” hosted by the Anticipation Hub, Welthungerhilfe will be participating alongside experts and partners from Germany, Mozambique, Nigeria, Somalia, and Zimbabwe. Their experiences will contribute to better harnessing the huge potential of Anticipatory Action.
