world_organizations medium MCQ

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?

  1. Disaster Response Emergency Fund
  2. Anticipatory Action
  3. Resilience Framework
  4. 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.
