Stakeholders from across Eastern Africa are advancing practical ways to embed Anticipatory Action into national systems at #EADP2 in Mombasa.
Key focus areas include stronger early warning systems that reach those at risk, government-led coordination, sustainable and pre-arranged financing, and locally led approaches that protect livelihoods and reduce humanitarian impacts.
NDOC remains central to Kenya’s efforts to turn forecasts into timely action.

The 2nd Eastern Africa Dialogue Platform on Anticipatory Action (#EADP2) is underway in Mombasa under the theme “Transforming Risk into Resilience.”
Cabinet Secretary for Interior Hon. Kipchumba Murkomen opened the platform, reaffirming Kenya’s commitment to institutionalising Anticipatory Action through localisation, multi-stakeholder coordination, sustainable financing, and evidence-driven policy.
Co-hosted with IGAD and partners, the dialogue brings together governments, humanitarian actors, researchers, and communities to shift from reacting after crises to acting before they strike.#EADP2 #AnticipatoryAction #NDOCKenya #Resilience #DisasterRiskReduction

Heavy machinery is being used to carefully open safe access routes through the rubble. The safety of any remaining trapped persons and of the responders remains the highest priority as operations continue.
