In 2023, Malteser International started an exploration into Anticipatory Action, commissioning the Global Public Policy Institute (GPPi) to conduct a study to determine the feasibility of integrating Anticipatory Action into MI's humanitarian work.

Anticipatory Action represents a shift from reactive to proactive approaches, aligning with MI's vision, mission, and strategic goals. After extensive research and analysis, the study reveals key insights into opportunities, challenges, and pathways for integration, confirming Anticipatory Action as a practical strategy for MI. It promotes timely intervention and preventive measures, in line with MI's commitment to health and dignity for people in need.

Lessons learned from Anticipatory Action efforts in Bangladesh, Kenya, Pakistan, and Uganda has the potential to aid MI in its pilot projects or project adaptations. MI hopes that the study's findings will benefit other organizations seeking to implement Anticipatory Action.
