Exchange Workshop on Inclusive Anticipatory Humanitarian Action: Vulnerable Groups and Social Protection

In humanitarian crisis contexts, groups that might already be marginalized in the respective community, such as persons with disabilities, the elderly, or women, are facing disproportionate risks. To address these risks anticipatory approaches need to be shaped in a participatory and inclusive way for them to be as effective as possible and to ‘leave no one behind’. In this workshop, you will discuss the particular challenges and dilemmas that anticipatory humanitarian action practitioners are facing with regard to the inclusion and protection of vulnerable groups. You will learn about promising pathways to address these challenges, such as community-based development of early action protocols or linking anticipatory humanitarian action to social protection schemes. Welthungerhilfe will provide practical insights on how to jointly collaborate on early action protocols with communities and stakeholders and give examples for best practices and challenges around inclusion and protection.

The online workshop will take place on 6 and 7 May 2024 and includes regular breaks.
