AI-powered anticipatory action trigger and activation engine for the IGAD region — turns pre-agreed early warning thresholds into automatic, tracked action, delivered via a resilient mesh network even when connectivity is down. Built for IGAD Hackathon 2026.
# Kinga — Anticipatory Action Trigger & Activation Engine
> **IGAD Hackathon 2026** · Horn of Africa · *From Early Warning to Early Action*
Kinga closes the gap between **climate prediction** and **humanitarian action**. It monitors environmental indicators, fires automated triggers when thresholds are breached, dispatches pre-agreed action plans through a resilient mesh relay network, and tracks institutional response in real-time — all the way down to community acknowledgment via basic feature phones.

## The Problem
> *"ICPAC has identified critical gaps in preparedness. Countries define triggers on paper but lack the technology to connect early warnings to pre-arranged action plans."*
In the Horn of Africa, climate early warnings exist but rarely translate into timely action. When a drought or flood is forecast:
- Alerts sit in email inboxes
- Coordination is ad-hoc
- No one tracks whether action was actually taken
- Communities at risk wait until disaster strikes
**Kinga fixes this.** It is an end-to-end digital pipeline from sensor → trigger → dispatch → acknowledgment → action.

### 1. Define
Create anticipatory action protocols via the **Trigger Builder**: country, admin unit, hazard type, threshold conditions, pre-agreed action plan, budget envelope, responsible institution, and community broadcast settings.
### 2. Monitor
