Uniting for risk-informed early action at scale
REAP’s 2030 strategy builds on previous successes while focusing on where Partners say it is needed most – ensuring that finance and policy create the enabling environment for early action.
REAP Partners work across all aspects of early warning and early action, actively promoting the partnership ways of working that underpin our sensemaking to unlock action work. Through REAP, we convene around two broad focus areas that we believe are most important to scaling early action: finance for early action and policy integration.
SENSEMAKING TO UNLOCK ACTION
Through embedding partnership ways of working, REAP Partners build coherence and complementarity and collectively scale risk-informed early action.
- Partners align their work through exchange of ideas in REAP-convened discussions
- Partners build and strengthen connections through REAP that support their work
- Partners adapt their approaches based on REAP evidence and sensemaking
- Partners co-develop and coordinate messaging through REAP to support their advocacy and influence
FINANCE FOR EARLY ACTION
We work to identify gaps and pursue opportunities to improve financing to support risk-informed early action, ensuring investments are targeted and sustainable, and that more resources arrive earlier, and are more coordinated, flexible, reliable, and just. The changes we work towards are:
- Early warning and early action investments are scaled, sustainable, complementary, and effective.
- Early warning and early action delivery systems ensure that Early warnings translate into early action for the most Vulnerable communities.
POLICY INTEGRATION
We pursue policy change as a route to impact at scale, identifying the changes needed to embed risk-informed early action as a core approach and supporting policymakers to enact them. The changes we work towards are:
- Risk-informed early action is mainstreamed into relevant global policy processes, including the 2030+ agenda
- Risk-informed early action is integrated into national plans, Policies and sectoral plans
The Strategy 2030 identifies a joint approach for the Risk-informed Early Action Partnership (REAP) to get ahead of disasters.
