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.

Risk Bulletin: March 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.
FOREWARN Evaluation Report 2022
Start Network’s global Forecast-based Warning Analysis and Response Network (FOREWARN) is a network of multidisciplinary stakeholders consisting of humanitarian professionals, academics, scientists and risk experts. Its aim is to provide support so that humanitarian professionals can take action before risks become disasters. In line with Start Network’s localisation agenda, four national FOREWARNs were created and piloted in Bangladesh, Madagascar and the Philippines from 2019, and in Pakistan from late 2021.
