The current global financing system for crisis is not fit for purpose; funding is often late, under-delivered and highly unpredictable. This leads to millions of people across the world being underserved by a system whose purpose is to support them.

This webinar on 15th September at 3PM (BST) / 10AM (EDT) aims to explore how we can build locally designed and owned crisis risk management systems and how we can sustainably finance these. We will look at how recent innovations do this – by bringing together leadership from the global south, innovative financing, and systematic crisis management to overcome challenges and seize opportunities to share a better aid system.

Speakers Include:
- Clare Harris, Head of Crisis Anticipation and Risk Financing, Start Network
- Luis Alton, Senior Financial Sector Specialist, World Bank
- Lesley Ndlovu, Chief Executive Officer, African Risk Capacity
- Cristina Stefan, Lead Risk Finance Adviser, Centre for Disaster Protection
