This After-Action Review (AAR) examines the first joint anticipatory action (AA) activation by the Government of the Philippines ¨C through the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) ¨C and Â鶹ÊÓƵ, carried out ahead of Super Typhoon Uwan (Fung-wong) in November 2025.
Annual Country Reports (ACR) are a key accountability document produced by country offices on a yearly basis which inform donors how their funds were used during the reporting year. Their purpose is to tell Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s performance story in an accurate, transparent and evidence-based manner by assessing the effectiveness, efficiency and economy of our operations in our pursuit towards zero hunger.
As weather-related shocks become increasingly frequent and severe worldwide, the Â鶹ÊÓƵ (Â鶹ÊÓƵ) has significantly expanded
its investment in Anticipatory Action (AA) to help countries proactively manage their impact.
As the world¡¯s most disaster?prone country, the Philippines faces recurring climate shocks straining public finances, disrupt food systems, and negatively impact poor households, particularly at-risk communities. Delays in financing amplify these impacts, raise humanitarian costs and force families into harmful coping strategies that deepen food insecurity. Climate disaster risk financing and insurance (CDRFI) helps protect climate-vulnerable communities by encouraging early and proactive action, provide fast and reliable funding, and build long-term climate resilience.
Nearly half the world¡¯s undernourished population lives in Asia and the Pacific. By the end of 2023, 78 million people in the region faced acute food insecurity.
In 2024, the Philippines endured an active typhoon season with six back-to-back tropical cyclones that successively impacted the Luzon Island Group in 25 days. The first cyclone, severe tropical storm Kristine (international name: Trami), triggered widespread flooding and landslides. This was soon followed by five typhoons that compounded damages in barely recovered areas of Bicol, Cagayan Valley, Central Luzon, Cordillera Administrative Region, and Ilocos Region.
This report highlights Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s achievements in addressing hunger and malnutrition across Asia and the Pacific in 2024, amid rising food insecurity, climate-related shocks and stressors and funding gaps.
Explore how climate risk data enhances social registries and supports shock-responsive protection systems, with lessons from Sri Lanka, Lao PDR, and regional experiences across Asia and the Pacific.
Through 12 case studies, this report examines how the Fill the Nutrient Gap (FNG) analyses can be leveraged to enhance the ability of national social protection systems in addressing the affordability gaps of nutritious diets.
On 24 October, severe tropical storm (STS) Kristine (international name: Trami) triggered widespread flooding and landslides in Luzon, Visayas, and parts of Mindanao, with the Bicol Region among the most severely impacted areas. This report compiles the findings of the rapid damage assessment and needs analysis (RDANA) conducted by Â鶹ÊÓƵ in three hardest-hit Bicol provinces from 27 to 29 October.
The regional reports of the Climate Change and Food Security Analysis (CCFSA) present the livelihood and climate-related profiles of five regions in the Philippines: i) Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, ii) MIMAROPA [Mindoro Occidental, Mindoro Oriental, Marinduque, Romblon, and Palawan], iii) National Capital Region, iv) SOCCSKSARGEN [South Cotabato, Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani, and General Santos City], and v) Zamboanga Peninsula.
Â鶹ÊÓƵ's Social Protection Implementation Plan for the Asia and the Pacific region outlines a vision for Â鶹ÊÓƵ's support to national systems from 2024 to 2028.
In the Philippines, Â鶹ÊÓƵ is working closely with the Government and communities to improve food security, nutrition, and resilience to shocks, aligned with national and local development priorities. These fact sheets provide an overview of Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s key programmes and priority focus areas under its new Country Strategic Plan 2024-2028.
This document provides an overview of social protection information systems across Asia and the Pacific, highlighting opportunities for strengthening and innovation to improve data management, coverage, and programme efficiency in addressing vulnerabilities
Â鶹ÊÓƵ conducted a Leaving No One Behind study to identify groups being left behind in terms of access to and coverage by social protection programmes in the Philippines. This report shares the study¡¯s findings and key recommendations to inform the policies and programmes of the Government of the Philippines, the international community, and national organizations in ensuring these groups are represented and their unique needs are met.
