Case studies describe how Start Ready activated in anticipation of two major crises in Madagascar - drought in February 2024 and Cyclone Gamane in March 2024.

Following the activation of Alert 766, a coordinated response was launched to address the immediate needs of those affected by Tropical Storm Franklin.

The crisis in Burkina Faso is one of the fastest-growing humanitarian crises in the world, with over 2 million people internally displaced and around a quarter of the country’s population currently relying on humanitarian aid.

Over the last decade, the humanitarian sector has been heavily impacted by more frequent and severe climate-related crises. We need a more proactive, faster and locally led humanitarian system where communities are supported to analyse risks, create plans and have access to pre-arranged financing to prevent loss of life and livelihoods.

Each case study shows how the small interventions can make a difference in life of people. What it means to the one in need as we reached them on time.

This study aims to map the flow of funding for disaster risk management (DRM) in the Philippines in recent years, particularly from 2018 to 2020 (and part of 2021). For a country that is highly vulnerable to multiple, compounding hazards, tracking the sources of annual financing to deal with disaster risks, both ex ante and ex post, is necessary to help us understand better the scope of actionable DRM strategies by both government and non-government actors, especially in light of anticipatory humanitarian action. The exercise is also valuable in identifying financing gaps geographically and hazards-wise, as well as in exploring the impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on DRM funding.
