SessionAbstract

A key barrier to more impactful humanitarian action is ineffective coordination among humanitarian actors, impacting the effective use of financial resources and the overall impact of responses. At Start Network, we have a duty to promote and foster coordination and collaboration among our own members. As a system change organisation, we also believe it is crucial toengage other key stakeholders in this conversation to examine current approaches to coordination and explore how to support and enhance tools and strategies to work together to ensure efficiency, reduce duplication, and maximise the impact of anticipatory and early action across DRF systems.

Session objective:

The session will explore the coordination challenges and opportunities involved in Disaster Risk Financing (DRF) delivery and how the sector can enhance collaboration at country-level to maximise the impact of anticipatory and early action.
