On 10 October 2016 we responded to a funding alert for Mali, raised in anticipation of flooding in the Niger River basin in Mali.
OPIDEN (Outil de Prédiction des Inondations dans la Delta Intérieur du Niger) – a tool developed to predict the timing, level and extent of flooding for the inner Niger Delta – has predicted a continuation of flooding in Mali, with some regions not expected to reach peak flooding until November or December. As a result, a window of opportunity exists to mitigate the effect on communities. Previous flooding in July 2016 caused 13 deaths, affected 9,586 people and destroyed 1,459 homes .

GHA AND THE START NETWORK
The GHA Programme is partnering with the START network to help to inform its funding allocation decisions. The START network is a consortium of British-based humanitarian INGOs, which has recently launched its own fund to help fill funding gaps and enable rapid response to under-reported crises where need is great.
When the START members issue a funding alert, we produce (within 12 hours) a rapid overview of the humanitarian funding picture – recent funding, an overview of appeals and funds, and analysis of donor trends. The analysis is targeted not only at the START network but also to a wider set of stakeholders engaged in these crises – including donors, humanitarian organisations, analysts, advocates and citizens.
