Start Network Annual Assembly 2021

The Start Network Assembly is the annual gathering of our members and stakeholders. In 2021, the event was held from 16 to 18 November.

As Start Network shifts to a locally-led, globally scaled network, changing mindsets is at the core of transforming the way we work and so the theme for the 2021 Assembly was "Changing mindsets, Transforming systems".

Start Network is exploring new models of risk and accountability; re-imagining our role as that of a service provider to locally-led networks; adapting our programmes to an increasingly decentralised future; and examining colonial mentalities in our ways of working and the wider humanitarian sector. Be part of the change!
