The anti-racist and decolonial framework

This framework has been developed to help Start Network, our members and teams understand and address the many ways in which racism and colonialism can affect our work. Download the Framework     In Arabic In Bengali In English In French In Spanish      

Start Network is a global network of non-governmental organisations, made up of more than 50 national and international aid agencies from five continents. Our mission is to create a new era of humanitarian action that will save even more lives through innovation, fast funding, and early and locally led action.

As part of our efforts to transform the global humanitarian system, we are transitioning to a “network of networks”, with a dispersed network of autonomous and interdependent hubs around the world. These locally led hubs will bring in many more local and national organisations based in their own countries. Through this structure our aim is for the network to be locally led and through this framework we aim to challenge the influence of racism and colonialism.
