Start Network aims for a locally-led humanitarian system, and the transition is already underway through the development of networks (known as ‘hubs’). Start Network hubs are collectives of local, national, and international organisations or humanitarian responders operating in the same country or region. Hubs come together through a vision of system change, to tackle the deep-rooted issues in humanitarian responses within their contexts. They are supported by the Global Start Network but ultimately, they control their resources and define their responses to crises affecting and threatening their communities.

FOREWARN Bangladesh, in association with Open Mapping Hub - Asia Pacific, is running the first-ever disaster hackathon in Bangladesh. It has announced its top 8 teams from across public, private, and international universities.

Stories of Flood Response and Recovery from Sunamganj

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.

Bangladesh is highly vulnerable to recurring hazards and this situation is going to exacerbate due to the impacts of climate change.

Bangladesh has faced one of the worst flash floods in history in 2022, where northeastern region of the country was devastated by consecutive flash floods during the months of May to June. The affect of the flooding led to more than 7.2 million people directly affected and more than 50% of the affected population in need of humanitarian assistance.

The northeastern part of Bangladesh has been devastated by a torrential flash flooding due to heavy rainfall in the upper streams of Surma, Kushiyara and other rivers of the Brahmanputra basin that linked to the northeastern part of the country.

Local and national NGOs in coastal Bangladesh have come together to form the  Sundarban Coalition.
