Anticipatory action (AA) is deceptively simple: it is the practice of releasing pre-arranged funding and delivering assistance before a predictable disaster strikes, rather than scrambling to respond after the damage is done.

What distinguishes Kenya, and East Africa more broadly, is the degree to which repression has become both institutionalised and, in some cases, exported. Kenya is not a military junta, nor a post-conflict state clinging to fragile authority. It has functioning courts, a vocal civil society, and a constitution widely praised at its 2010 drafting. That the state is nonetheless deploying anti-terror laws against protesters and directing autopsies to be contradicted by police press releases suggests something more troubling than a governance failure. It suggests a deliberate choice.
