Start Network has laid a solid foundation in organisational strengthening through its microfunding approach. However, to further enhance its impact, Start Network should integrate lessons from past capacity strengthening initiatives and focus on providing longer-term, contextualised support. By doing so, Start Network can effectively address compliance requirements whilst simultaneously fostering local capacity building, thereby empowering L/NNGOs and supporting the development of a resilient, locally led humanitarian system.

This report presents an overview of the current utilisation of Local, Indigenous, and Traditional Knowledge (LITK) within Start Network whilst exploring potential avenues for its enhanced capture and utilisation.

In October 2021, Start Fund Bangladesh commissioned a detailed livelihood study applying the household economy analysis (HEA) framework.

The objective of the study “Financial Flow Analysis for Climate-related Disaster in Bangladesh” has been three-fold. First, it has provided a background of the trend of funding flows entering the country to address climate-related disasters; then the funding gap has been analyzed considering the funding that was applied for collectively by the humanitarian actors and what was subsequently received from different donors; finally, the study explored the crisis anticipation and response mechanisms of Start Fund Bangladesh (SFB) to gain a better understanding of its recent activities.
