Which IFRC initiative focuses on scaling up community-based early action for disasters through forecast-based financing, releasing funds before a crisis hits based on pre-agreed triggers?
- Disaster Response Emergency Fund
- Anticipatory Action
- Resilience Framework
- Climate Adaptation Fund
Answer: Anticipatory Action
Anticipatory Action uses weather forecasts and risk analysis to trigger pre-planned interventions (e.g., cash transfers, evacuations) before disasters strike. This reduces impacts, saves lives, and is more cost-effective than post-disaster response, embodying a proactive humanitarian approach.
