Start Fund Monthly Risk Bulletin (Issued: March 2026)

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 priority in this month’s edition include:

  • Conflict in Colombia
  • Flooding in eastern, central, and southern Africa

Conflict and displacement in the Middle East is also flagged as an emerging risk which agencies are encouraged to monitor closely.

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