Aligning With The Bigger Picture: Thinking Strategically In Disaster Risk Financing
At the Centre for Disaster Protection, we spend a lot of time considering what ‘good’ disaster risk financing (DRF) looks like in practice. We have set out a current working list in our blog: ‘7 habits of highly effective DRF’. We are now calling these the ‘7 keys to unlock effective DRF’. Some have been more neglected than others, and we have released the below guidance notes for the most overlooked. These aim to provide very practical guidance, tools and examples of how to build these particular five keys into your DRF initiative.
