- Enhancing financial protection against disasters and climate shocks for vulnerable countries through analytical, advisory, and operational expertise.
- Strengthening partnerships with non-traditional stakeholders, including regional risk pools, the private sector, civil society organizations, and humanitarian organizations.
- Helping address financial protection gaps by providing strategic partnerships, technical advisory services, and integrated financial packages that offer coordinated and consolidated financial support to the vulnerable.
allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
