Pre-arranged financing
Financing that has been approved in advance of a crisis and that is guaranteed to be released to a specific implementer when a specific pre-identified trigger condition is met. The trigger may be based on data or models related to impact, forecasts, or projections of need, or a declaration of emergency (or similar) by the specified respondent. The funding may be used for anticipatory action or in response to a crisis, either linked to a clear plan for a very specific purpose or general budget support (Centre for Disaster Protection).
This is the third year that the Centre for Disaster Protection has published its flagship report, and this year it goes further than ever before.
