Testimony

The innovative climate disaster risk mechanism offered by African Risk Capacity speaks to spirit of the Africa We Want. The establishment of a well-prepared contingency plan in anticipation of natural disaster risk makes the difference between timely response and destitution of the vulnerable population. ARC makes this positive difference by ensuring that affected populations get assistance on time.
