Start Ready Training

Start Network works to create knowledge and skills that allow for the self-initiation, design, build, and management of country disaster risk financing systems.

The resources available on this page are aimed at understanding Start Ready, which provides funding for predictable crises based on the principles of disaster risk financing (DRF).

These resources will:

  • introduce you to the concept of disaster risk financing and how it works within Start Network
  • give you advanced technical training on how to develop a disaster risk financing system
  • provide training for trainers so they can pass on this information in their own country.

Start Ready training

We offer members a range of training sessions on various aspects of Start Ready. These include:

  • disaster risk financing strategy development
  • monitoring, learning and quality of anticipatory and DRF systems
  • contingency planning process
  • risk analytics and statistical modelling
  • risk financing streams.

ONLINE START READY TRAINING SESSIONS

The above training courses can also be delivered online as well as in person

RESOURCE SHARING

The Building Blocks website provides online guidance to the Start Ready Building Blocks framework, which members can use to build their own disaster risk financing system.

It is a virtual library of templates, tools, guides and training materials, along with completed examples and learning reports. 

The resource framework includes brief summaries on Start Ready to help you understand more about Disaster Risk Financing within Start Network;

  • “How to use the Building Blocks Resource Bank” is a useful guide of the Building Blocks framework's glossary, terminologies, symbols and icons;
  • A “Building Blocks lite” document gives a brief overview of the whole framework alongside a useful video, and a detailed guide for each block to identify the steps involved, and outcomes needed, in the development of a technically viable system.
