Anticipatory Action in Angola

Traditionally, humanitarian aid is conceived as support to people after a disaster. But if we know that disaster is coming, why wait?

🌪️ 🌧️ 🪾 If we know that disaster is coming, why not act before it hits?

In 2024, with the support of World Vision Angola and Start Network, our team at PIN Angola did just that.

Through anticipatory action in drought-hit hashtag#Angola, we helped protect communities before the drought peaked.

In the Democratic Republic of Congo, we studied the use of the Black Soldier Fly. 🪰 Its larvae can transform organic waste into high-quality compost in just a few days. The use of biogas plants is another promising avenue of investigation. Biogas plants convert biowaste into gas and fertiliser

With our partners in the Bio4HUMAN project, we are testing the feasibility of 10 potential technologies and products as solutions to solid waste.🌍

♻️ We are searching for methods to process solid waste safely in humanitarian crises. Unfortunately, distributing humanitarian aid generates large amounts of waste, such as plastic packaging materials.
