The South Sudan Roadmap on Anticipatory Action 2025-2030 (SSRAA) represents a major milestone in the country’s efforts to shift from crisis-response to proactive risk management. In a context where climate-related and human- induced shocks are becoming increasingly frequent and severe, this Roadmap provides a clear national framework to anticipate, prepare for, and mitigate risks before they escalate into emergencies.

Anchored in global and regional commitments, including the IGAD Regional Roadmap on Anticipatory Action(IRRAA), the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, and the United Nations Early Warnings for All (EW4All) initiative, Food and Agriculture Organization, and World Food Programme Strategy on Anticipatory Action(AA), the roadmap presents a forward- looking vision for a resilient South Sudan where AA is fully embedded in national policies, planning processes, and development strategies. Its mission is to strengthen a robust, people-centred, multi-hazard early warning and AA system that empowers communities, institutions, and partners to act early and safeguard lives and livelihoods.
