The AH serves as a central convener, connecting around 160 partners from across the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, academic and research institutions, NGOs, UN agencies, government bodies, donors, and networks engaged in anticipatory action.
Its mission is to promote knowledge exchange, joint learning, technical guidance, and strategic advocacy across practitioners, researchers, and policymakers to enable better, coordinated and collective anticipatory action in collaboration with at-risk communities.
Since its inception, the AH has worked through three strategic priorities – (1) learning, innovation and exchange; (2) guidance and support; and (3) policy and advocacy – which have shaped its services and positioned it as a central convenor and knowledge platform in the anticipatory action space.
Objective of the Contract
Building on the implementation of the 2021–2024 strategy and insights gained from its recent evaluation; the Anticipation Hub is now entering a new strategic cycle. As a connector, knowledge broker and thought leader in anticipatory action, the AH is poised to evolve its vision and service offerings in response to shifting global dynamics, funding landscape, institutionalization of anticipatory action, and the needs of diverse anticipatory action stakeholders and implementers.
The AH Strategy 2030 will define the Hub’s renewed vision, strategic priorities, and Theory of Change for the next five years. It should build on the achievements and lessons of the previous strategic period, respond to the findings of the recent evaluation of the 2021–2024 strategy, and reflect trends across the anticipatory action landscape. The strategy shall reaffirm the AH’s added value and clarify its focus in a rapidly changing context marked by a humanitarian system that is under financial pressure, demand for increased coordination and localisation, and the evolution of anticipatory action across regions, sectors and hazards.
