ational Dialogue

Platforms are becoming increasingly important as spaces to promote greater complementarity in the Anticipatory Action initiatives in each country. To advance

a roadmap for Ecuador, the Ecuadorian Red Cross organized the first National Dialogue Platform on April 26, in the city of Quito.

More than 130 key actors gathered around the theme

"Today, from the middle of the world, we anticipate events". The Platform involved humanitarians,

community leaders, local

and central governments, scientific and technical institutions, academia, international organizations and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

The event was co-organized by the National Secretariat for Risk Management in Ecuador, the Anticipation Hub, World Food Program (WFP), Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and Practical Action-COSUDE.

The initiative was developed within the operational framework of the Programmatic Alliance, with the financial support of the European Union. To learn more details, see the Platform's full report, available here.
