Innovative Crisis Financing: How can we drive a more equitable humanitarian system?

Join us on 15 September at 3PM BST/10 AM EST for for our webinar ‘ Innovative Crisis Financing: How Can We Drive a More Equitable Humanitarian System’ in collaboration with AidEx. The current global financing system for crisis is not fit for purpose; funding is often late, under-delivered and highly unpredictable. This leads to millions of people across the world being underserved by a system whose purpose is to support them. This webinar aims to explore how we can build locally designed and owned crisis risk management systems and how we can sustainably finance these. We will look at how recent innovations do this – by bringing together leadership from the global south, innovative financing, and systematic crisis management to overcome challenges and seize opportunities to share a better aid system.   Read more...

Start Ready Risque de base

L'un des trois piliers principaux du système de financement des risques de catastrophe est l'analyse des risques. Il faut toujours revoir, vérifier et calibrer (si nécessaire) les modèles de risque afin de minimiser les faux déclenchements du modèle. On appelle ce faux déclenchement "le risque de base" et Start Ready fournit des fonds aux membres pour mettre en œuvre des activités dans le cas où le danger s'est matérialisé lorsque le modèle n'a pas déclenché l'alarme. Nous avons le plaisir d'inviter des collègues et des partenaires locaux pour en savoir plus sur le risque de base et le type de soutien financier que Start Ready peut fournir dans ce domaine. Le webinaire aura lieu le 15 septembre 2022 de 10 BST en français. Les membres et leurs partenaires locaux sont invités à y participer, sans limite du nombre de participants par organisation. Veuillez contacter Léonie pour plus d'informations.  Read more...

Induction on Start Ready Basis Risk

One of the main three pillars of the Disaster Risk Financing system is risk analytics. Risk models always need to be reviewed, verified, and calibrated to minimise the false triggering of the model. As it is known this false triggering is called basis risk and Start Ready provides funds for members to implement activities in case the hazard materialised while the model failed to alarm. We are pleased to invite colleagues, organisations, and their local partners from the 6 countries that Start Ready is implementing in (Bangladesh, DRC, Pakistan, The Philippines, Senegal, and Zimbabwe), to know more about basis risk and the sort of financial support that can be accessed through Start Ready on this scope. The webinar will take place on 27th July 2022 9:00-10:30am BST and will be conducted in English. Another session in French will be conducted later this year. Members and their local partners are welcome to participate with no limits on numbers from each organisation. Please contact startready@startnetwork.org for any further information.   Read more...
