Start Fund: providing direct, lifesaving assistance to up to 15 million disaster affected people through NGOs
Description
The Start Fund will provide approximately 9.8 million people across the globe with life-saving humanitarian assistance. To achieve this, responses will use local information and local partners to tailor the response and maximise its effectiveness, with NGOs able to flexibly deploy the type of assistance that is most appropriate. The Start Fund’s structure and operation allows it to fulfil a critical role in responding to small to medium scale underfunded disasters. It can activate within 3 days, and focuses on supporting for a short window of time – just 45 days – addressing a key ‘gap’ in the system. This three year programme will support the Start Fund to scale up, attract substantial funding from other donors and cement its place in the global humanitarian architecture. This forms a part of the UK’s push to create a system where funding supports resilience and local systems, is predictable, dependable and based on humanitarian need – in line with our Humanitarian Reform Policy.
