Delivering early warning to everyone: People centered and gender-responsive approaches

This learning lab offers hands-on training, simulation and learning from actual experiences on how to implement people-centered early warning, translating early warning to life-saving actions. Participants will be able to learn from tools and approaches to actively engage stakeholders in the design and implementation of early warning systems – women, children, youth, elderly, persons with disabilities, etc.

Session objectives:

• Support stakeholders to better understand and implement early warning systems, ensuring that warnings reach the most vulnerable populations
• Aid in stakeholders’ understanding of the key elements that enable people-centered early warning systems across the following building blocks:
  • Identifying and engaging actors (building block 1)
  • Co-creating a collaborative design process (building block 2)
  • Co-exploring, co-developing, and co-delivering solutions (building block 3) - including impact-based forecasting for anticipatory action
  • Capacity building and learning (building block 4)
  • Monitoring and evaluation (building block 5)

Main target audience:

• DRR practitioners and advocates of people-centered and gender responsive approaches to early warning
