Congratulations to Angus and the Development Initiatives (DI) team for a compelling assessment of humanitarian finance. Great to work with you on the @CentreForDP data on covid funding. More grant financing to national governments and organizations is needed. #GHA2020 bit.ly/38QD0wm

Delighted to join ⁦IFRC⁩ ⁦Kara Devonna Siahaan⁩ ⁦@CentreForDP⁩ ⁦Conor Meenan⁩ for this debate on changing how the world pays for disasters. Join us! climate.red/atrium

Loved debating whether now is the time to change how the world pays for disasters at #ClimateRed with ⁦@CentreForDP⁩ ⁦⁦IFRC⁩. Whopping 94% voted YES! Let’s move ‘beyond the begging bowl’ and start paying for disasters with money, not lives - who’s in?

Great way of making sure the message sticks: #disasters should not come as a surprise ! Zoe Scott @CentreForDP #ClimateRed

Excited to share our new blog: 7 habits of highly effective DRF by me and ⁦⁦@CentreForDP⁩ ⁦Ruth Hill⁩. We thought hard about how to make #DisasterRiskFinancing impactful for people’s lives. Which habit do you want to focus on more? disasterprotection.org/latest-news/7-…

An excellent read

Come along!

Recent blog from 60 Decibels on the benefits of getting humanitarian aid to people *before* forecasted floods in Bangladesh was so good our comms team persuaded me to record a video about it :) Impact evaluation results on this anticipatory action pilot also coming soon...
