Section 6: Funding

Anticipatory action finance enables National Societies to act before disasters strike and or before the peak of the impacts such as in drought, reducing humanitarian impacts and response costs. Within anticipatory action finance, the “Build” funding supports strengthening of National Societies’ capacities to deliver anticipatory action, strengthening and formalizing collaborations, training of staff and volunteers, and development of Early Action Protocols (EAPs), while “Fuel” funding ensures that there is available funding to be used upon the warning when the hazard has not materialised yet.
