"There’s no silver bullet to Disaster Risk Management and Financing and no single agency can provide all the solutions. A multi-donor funding approach like AfDB's ADRIFI, ensures Availability, Accessibility and Affordability of risk financing for a 3-level response: mitigation, resilience and adaptation." (Ibrahima Cheikh Diong, UN ASG and ARC Group DG)

Today, at CoP26, we presented Africa’s best practice for mitigating climate crisis at the Anticipatory Action Side Event by UN OCHA and UNDRR. Smart partnerships among agencies is key to predictable funding, knowledge, and building capacities to reduce the human impact of disasters.

Very strategic meeting with Gilbert Houngbo, IFAD President, on the programmatic direction of our collaboration. We’re mutually promoting an evidence-based advocacy, premium finance fundraising, and data accessibility towards a public policy shift for Disaster Risk Management in Africa.
