We are excited to present the last instalment in the suite of e-courses for Start Ready and its Disaster Risk Financing system.

Start Network is keen to open the opportunity for its members to support the management and implementation of the Anticipatory Action and Disaster Risk Financing Training Programme.

Communities in Senegal will receive around £330,000 GBP ($400,500 USD) from Start Network and its local partners in anticipation of the drought season in 2023. Senegal’s 17 million population relies heavily on seasonal crops.

The new course called Risk Analytics in Start Ready DRF is also hosted via Kaya Connect and is offered free of charge covering the 2nd pillar of our Disaster Risk Financing-DRF approach.

Start Ready provides predictable funding to national networks of members. Because of this, it is suited best to risks that are statistically predictable. These include hazards and risks which follow a pattern of recurrence and magnitude in any given area. These risks are typically either hydro meteorological risks, such as cyclones, droughts, river floods etc, or geological hazards, such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions (albeit the latter are with very short lead times).

Start Network has launched its new online course for our members and local partners within the series of courses on Start Ready Disaster Risk Financing system.  This new course named Contingency Plan in Start Ready DRF is hosted via Kaya Connect and covers the first pillar of the Disaster Risk Financing-DRF approach.  

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.
