1.G Number of countries with operational and funded anticipatory action mechanisms and/or macro-insurance plans established with WFP support
VERSION	V1.0 - 2026.04
INDICATOR CODE	1.G
TECHNICAL OWNER	PRGR
INDICATOR TYPE	Corporate Level Outcome Indicator Strategic Outcome: 1. Effective emergency preparedness and response
UNIT OF MEASUREMENT & ANALYSIS	Number of countries
INDICATOR DEFINITION	The indicator measures the number of countries equipped with a functional Anticipatory Action mechanism and/or a Macro-insurance operational plan enabling countries to implement an anticipatory and/or early action in case of climatic shock (drought, floods, cyclones, etc.) and as a result of WFP’s support. Below are some key terms for this indicator: Anticipatory actions are activities implemented prior to an extreme weather event and based on a scientific forecast trigger, to mitigate the anticipated disaster impact on food security, lives and livelihoods of vulnerable populations. Anticipatory Action mechanisms, also known as Anticipatory Action SOPs, are documents approved by WFP’s country directors, and other relevant national and international stakeholders that contain the protocols for the step-by-step implementation of anticipatory actions. They include guidelines for who acts, when, where, with what funds and under which CSP activities. It also includes summary figures of what should be reflected in the NBP/CPN, Distribution Reports, OOPs and completion reports. These guidelines are implemented as soon as the pre-defined forecast triggers are activated. Macro insurance Operational Plan is the document signed by the national government and the corresponding WFP-country director to define how a macro-insurance payout would be delivered to WFP-beneficiaries. It also indicates the CSP activities, the target population, and the duration and amount of the foreseen transfer. The transfer can be in the form of CBT and/or in kind, depending on local context and needs.
MANDATORY COUNTRY-LEVEL INDICATORS & INCLUSION CRITERIA FOR APR AGGREGATION	Mandatory Country level Indicator(s) composing the corporate indicator: 106. Number of people benefitting from improved national policies, systems or programmes for which WFP provided technical (and financial) support (Tier 3 beneficiaries) Inclusion criteria for Mandatory Country Level Indicator(s): The mandatory country level indicator is included in the aggregation of the corporate indicator under SO.1 only if all the following conditions are met: The country level indicator is reported against sub-activities MAI and/or FBA . The indicator includes both an annual target and follow-up values for the corresponding reporting year. The indicator includes follow-up values greater than zero for any of the following detailed indicators options: People covered by operational anticipatory actions mechanisms supported (financially or technically) by WFP. People covered by macro insurance policies or other macro level risk financing instruments Supported (financially or technically) by WFP.
CALCULATION & AGGREGATION METHODOLOGY	This indicator is derived from the aggregation of the country-level indicator data listed above (106.) but only if selected against MAI and/or FBA sub-activities. Calculation: A + B - C where: A= Total number of COs where people are covered by operational anticipatory actions mechanisms supported by WFP. B= Total number of COs where people are covered by Macro-insurance operational Plans supported by WFP. C= Total number of COs where A and B overlap
DISAGGREGATION FOR REPORTING IN APR	Mandatory: Number of countries with only AA operational systems in place = A Number of countries with only Macro-insurance systems in place= B Number of countries with operational AA and Macro-insurance systems in place =C
BASELINE	2024 Baseline: A+B-C = 19 Countries A= 12 (Nepal, Burkina Faso, Niger, Lesotho, Madagascar, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Uganda, Honduras, Peru) B= 13 countries (Pacific (PICT), Burkina Faso, Gambia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Madagascar, Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Somalia, Sudan, Caricom) C= 5 countries (BurkinaFaso, Niger, Madagascar, Mozambique, Zimbabwe)
LIMITATIONS	This indicator counts countries equipped with a functional Anticipatory Action mechanism and/or a Macro-insurance operational plan, enabling countries to implement anticipatory and/or early actions in case of applicable climatic shocks. This indicator does not confirm whether these mechanisms or operational plans have been activated nor whether people have been effectively assisted following activations in the corresponding countries. For that information, WFP reports separately on direct beneficiaries and transfers under the CRF standard output 1.1 for macro-insurance payouts and under the CRF standard output 1.3 for anticipatory transfers.
