Start Network
Annemarie Poorterman, who will manage the project for Start
Network said: We now have the exciting prospect of being able to
provide the first clear evidence that this technology could
transform the humanitarian system by testing how we can put it into
practice.
The network plans a three-stage experiment, using Blockchain
to:Support decentralised decision making by the Start Fund, a
peer-reviewed emergency relief fund aimed at rapid response to
small-to-medium-scale disasters
Trigger and speed up pay-outs, using what are known as smart
contracts self-executing arrangements that are guaranteed to
deliver swiftly
Enhance transparency by developing a form of digital ledger for
use in all Start Fund transactions.

Chemonics + BanQu
Blockchain for Development Solutions Lab
On October 17, 2016, international development consulting firm
Chemonics and technology company BanQu established the Blockchain
for Development Solutions Lab. The lab represents the first
concerted effort by a development company to build, test, and scale
blockchain solutions to reduce poverty and increase aid
effectiveness.
Many have speculated about blockchains disruptive potential in
international development. Luminaries like Bill Gates and others
see potential for blockchain to deliver a host of improvements,
including faster and cheaper remittance payments, increased
end-to-end transparency in supply chains, and improved access to
finance for people at the base of the pyramid
