RISK BULLETIN: MAY AND JUNE 2023

The monthly risk briefing reports on new, emerging or deteriorating situations; therefore, ongoing events that are considered to be unchanged are not featured and risks that are beyond the scope and scale of the Start Fund are also not featured. It is collated by the Start Network Anticipation and Risk Financing team using information from academia and research institutes, government departments, ACAPS, global risk indexes, risk information provided by Start Members and their partners, and the media. Key risks are shared and collated each month with FOREWARN input. This months risk brief includes an outline of how the potential formation of El Niño this year could influence risks across the globe.

Community led approaches to monitoring, evaluation, accountability, and learning research grant

This grant sought to enable the creation of new methodologies to measure the success and impact of humanitarian interventions. The Community-Led Approaches to Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning (MEAL) Research Grant was created in March 2022, with support from the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation and the IKEA Foundation. This grant formed part of the Start Network’s push for a locally led humanitarian system and to meet the participation revolution commitment in the Grand Bargain, which seeks to promote the link between effective participation and the quality and effectiveness of humanitarian response.

START FUND LOCALISATION PILOT: External evaluation

This is an independent, external evaluation of the Start Fund’s ‘localisation pilot’ conducted in late 2022. The purpose of the evaluation is to assess the extent to which the global Start Fund is ready in terms of current and planned processes, practices and capacity, to develop into a more locally-led humanitarian model while maintaining its mandate to respond rapidly to the gaps and unmet needs of people in, or at-risk of crisis.
