Start Network has announced five founding hubs to be based in countries and regions affected by crises, localising resources and decision-making to improve the quality of humanitarian aid.
July saw 7 alerts activated, with over £1,000,000 being disbursed for rapids reponses to crises in the month.
May saw a quieter month for the Start Fund with only two Start Fund alerts activated in a global context of higher-profile alerts.
The month of April saw a diverse range of alerts raised by our members; however, amidst a context of multiple high-profile crises, the Start Fund responded to three important and under-the-radar alerts.
The month of October saw the highest alerting and activated month in the history of the Start Fund, where 13 alerts out of 15 were activated.
