Attachments

The Start Fund monthly Risk Bulletin reports on new, emerging or deteriorating situations. It is collated by the Start Network Anticipation and Risk Financing team using a range of online sources. Key risks are shared and collated each month. 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.

Anticipated hazards considered high or medium priority in this month’s edition include:
- Election-based violence in Bangladesh
- Multi-risk and flooding in Colombia
- Displacement and conflict in South Sudan

Start Network members interested in raising an anticipation alert for any of the risks highlighted in the bulletin can email startfund@startnetwork.org.
