After-Action Review (2025): Linking Social Protection and Anticipatory Action in the Philippines

Author: Ðǿմ«Ã½ Philippines

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 Ðǿմ«Ã½, carried out ahead of Super Typhoon Uwan (Fung-wong) in November 2025.

Building on a partnership to leverage the national social protection programme (4Ps: Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program), over 42,000 households were reached with anticipatory cash across five at-risk provinces two to three days before landfall, with early response support following for the hardest-hit families.

In March 2026, DSWD, Ðǿմ«Ã½ along with select local governments and humanitarian partners conducted the AAR to review the joint operations; identify challenges and opportunities for future implementation; and develop policy recommendations. This report offers valuable insights on strengthening disaster risk management through inclusive, shock-responsive social protection systems.
