Start Network seeks organisations to manage new Innovation Labs for crisis preparedness

Jointly managed by Start and CDAC Networks, the DEPP Innovation Labs is a two-year £10 million programme, funded by UK Aid, which will set up a network of labs to identify and support the development of innovative solutions to disaster preparedness. Up to four such labs will be set up in countries prone to disaster, with Bangladesh, Jordan, Kenya, Mozambique and the Philippines being the countries considered to host them.

Start Network is now seeking to identify potential organisations to host these labs and would like to hear from a broad range of organisations in all sectors, from both international organisations but in particular from organisations based locally in one of the countries listed. The deadline is 31 January.
