Start Fund Risk Bulletin: February 2025

The Start Fund monthly Risk Bulletin reports on new, emerging or deteriorating situations; therefore, ongoing events that are considered to be unchanged are not featured and risks that are beyond the scope and scale of the Start Fund are also not featured. 

It is collated by the Start Network Anticipation and Risk Financing team using information from academia and research institutes, government departments, ACAPS, global risk indexes, risk information provided by Start Members and their partners, and the media. Key risks are shared and collated each month with FOREWARN input.

The February 2025 Start Fund Risk Bulletin features:

• Risk of flooding and landslides in Peru
• Ongoing dry conditions in Lebanon which poses a threat to food security
• Disease outbreak in Uganda (Ebola/SVD), Senegal, DRC and several other African countries (mpox) 

Start Network members interested in raising an anticipatory alert for any of the risks highlighted in the bulletin can email startfund@startprogrammes.org for further guidance.
