PROCESS LEARNING FOR DISASTER RISK FINANCING
This guidance document offers practical steps on how to capture lessons from DRF initiatives, providing an opportunity for real-time reflection and feedback for those designing and implementing DRF systems, as well as key partner organisations. The guidance is designed to help capture and communicate learning on what is working well, which assumptions are holding true (or not) and what needs to be adjusted or changed. This guidance builds on and complements the Centre’s ‘7 Keys to Unlock Effective DRF’. Process learning is particularly relevant to the characteristic of constant improvement – embedding scrutiny and learning into
DRF initiatives to ensure quality and effectiveness.
