Crisis Anticipation: Biannual FOREWARN meeting

The Start Fund will be hosting the bi-annual FOREWARN community meeting which will take place on the 12th & 13th September 2018, in greater London. During this event we will reflect on the achievements of the Crisis Anticipation Window over the past two years, focussing on practical examples as well as policy shifts towards early action in the sector.  The second half of the event will be about the direction that FOREWARN will take over the next few years – growing and devolving through the formation of national groups, specialised thematic subgroups and strategic partnerships. The full Agenda is listed below, some timings and sections may be subject to change. If you working in anticipation, early action, risk financing or otherwise, and would like to attend, please click here to get in touch with the team.   Read more...
