ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT
Understanding and anticipating emerging risks which could have an impact on current WFP operations or would necessitate new or scaled-up responses is at the foundation of WFP’s approach to maintain operational continuity. This re-quires information gathering on security, conflict, economical and socio-political trends as well as analytical capacity to have the best possible situational awareness. The Regional Bureau drives analysis of current and emerging trends in countries of operation in close collaboration with country offices and HQ units.

In its efforts to strengthen this pillar of its operational continuity plan, the RBD with the support of HQ has invested in the scaling up of the "Access Monitoring Tool" tool in the 3 countries of the Central Sahel (Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger) with a possible extension in the countries of the Lake Chad Basin and the Gulf of Guinea. The AMT is a simplified, easy-to-use information collection tool the objectives of which are to: a) improve WFP’s ability to monitor and analyse access determinants, b) inform strategic and operational decision making, c) anticipate change and respond with appropriate mitigation/programmatic adjustments, d) support advocacy and negotiation efforts, and e) enable common situational awareness between HQ, RBs and COs.
