Exploring A Role For Triggers And Risk-Informed Financing In Complex Crises
Alongside the Airbel Research and Innovation Lab at the International Rescue Committee (IRC) we provide key lessons for how effective crisis response can be financed and triggered, useful across a broad range of organizations that engage in crisis response. This work is a first step towards developing a practical and pragmatic blueprint for how organisations can systematically re-orient their resources and processes towards a state of readiness for future crises.
