This year, Start Network will be leading three sessions to convene diverse voices from our membership, donors, and partners to discuss key issues in the humanitarian sector.
The localisation of humanitarian action has been the subject of humanitarian policy and practice discussions for more than a decade. In recent years, many governments and donors have reaffirmed their commitments to localisation, including FCDO, USAID and ECHO who have either published or are currently developing guidelines and strategies to realise these commitments.
This Humanitarian Networks and Partnerships Week 2024 session, ‘Anticipatory Action and Disaster Risk Management: Impact, Opportunities, and Way Forward’ unpacked the role of anticipatory action in disaster risk management, and how different stages of the crisis management cycle interact and can positively reinforce one another to have more timely, adequate and dignified responses.
World Oceans Day 2022 calls for individuals, civil society, governments, institutions and the international community to collectively work to revitalise our oceans, which are home to most of the world’s biodiversity and are predicted to be a source of employment for 40 million people by 2030.
