Early warning systems standards committee launched

As shocks become more frequent and complex, connecting early warning systems with social protection systems is essential. Interoperability enables timely data sharing, supports anticipatory action, and ensures that assistance reaches the right people—before crises escalate.

Standards committee

The standards committee for the interoperability of early warning systems and social protection systems was launched in April 2026. The committee brings together 19 experts from 17 diverse organizations including government agencies, international organizations, digital public goods (DPGs), the private sector, and individual specialists.

The committee will embark on the crucial task of reviewing draft standards to build consensus. This initiative highlights the commitment of various stakeholders to promote interoperability, ultimately enhancing the efficiency of social protection service delivery through their work on these standards.
