For a humanitarian system to be effective and accountable, decision-making power must be in the hands of the people affected by crises.

A protocol was developed following the discussion in the DRC Hub and members workshops in June 2022, and written in collaboration with DRC Hub leaders and member representatives.

In June 2023 the Start Fund commissioned an annual external evaluation to examine accountability to affected populations (AAP) in Start Fund projects and processes. The evaluation aimed to assess the extent to which accountability principles and good practices can be incorporated into all stages of the Start Fund alert cycle, specifically considering challenges of the short timeframes of 72 hours between alert raising and project selection and 45 to 60 days for project implementation.

We are excited to launch our organisational strategy for 2024-2026. This focus for the next three years reaffirms our commitment to humanitarian system change, modelled through practical action. We will focus on our key strengths and value offer as a networker, funder, innovator and influencer to help transform the sector into a more equitable, ethical and pro-active in protecting communities.
