La subvention de partage des connaissances et des idées sous leadership local (SKILL) offre aux membres locaux l’occasion de diriger leurs propres projets d’apprentissage par les pairs. La subvention a été conçue pour être dirigée localement, avec le moins de procédures de demande et de rapports possible, et avec une flexibilité dans la conception et la mise en œuvre. Huit membres locaux (qui ont terminé tiered Due Diligence avec Start Network) utilisent des subventions SKILL depuis la fin de 2021. La subvention est actuellement en phase pilote.   Download in English

The Sharing Knowledge and Ideas under Local Leadership Grant provides local members with an opportunity to lead their own peer learning projects. The grant was designed to be locally led, with as few application and reporting procedures as possible, and with flexibility in design and implementation. Eight local members (that have completed tiered due diligence with Start Network) have been utilising the grant since the end of 2021. The grant is currently in the pilot phase.   Download in French

World Oceans Day 2022 calls for individuals, civil society, governments, institutions and the international community to collectively work to revitalise our oceans, which are home to most of the world’s biodiversity and are predicted to be a source of employment for 40 million people by 2030.

The Community Led Approaches to MEAL Grant enables people affected by or at-risk of crises to have more of a say in monitoring, evaluation, accountability and learning.

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.

Start Network is delighted to announce that Start Ready has officially gone live, protecting people in six countries against predictable climate shocks.

HNPW Session: Building an inclusive compliance landscape: Modular due diligence and a global digital repository Current due diligence frameworks are resource-heavy undertakings designed with large Western multinational organisations in mind, making it challenging for small local and national actors to meet and maintain the compliance infrastructure required. 

HNPW Session: Recovering costs sharing: An important step in rebalancing power and creating a more inclusive system This panel session explored indirect recovery costs (ICR) and how they are shared with local and national actors. It is important that these power inequalities are addressed as ICR sharing is a tangible step to have a better share of power and push toward a locally-led humanitarian system

The exact rate of ICR received by implementing organisations varies and is often a process of negotiation. However, as a ballpark figure, it is usually between 7-10%.

The humanitarian sector aims to be locally led and therefore, it is important that the humanitarian sector listens to organisations acting at the local scale, so we can learn from their experiences and adapt to meet their needs. Over recent years, Start Network has engaged local and national non-governmental organisations through interviews and surveys to determine ways in which humanitarian structures can do better to support them. Gathering perceptions from non-governmental organisations has led to some pertinent findings related to exclusionary practices that some organisations acting at the local scale experience and led to some key recommendations that humanitarian actors can begin to implement in order to build equitable partnerships. While more in-depth research on these systemic issues continues to be conducted by Start Network and other organisations, we hope that this overview can assist international actors to begin positively disrupting the traditional systems that create barriers to equity within crisis response.
