An NGO specialised in disaster risk financing
We strengthen resilience and reduce poverty by advancing ex-ante solutions that address the economic and social impacts of disasters.
By organizing ex-ante financing and early action, we can save lives, reduce suffering, and lower the cost of moderate and severe shocks.
What we do
GCDRP provides policy expertise and program advice to design and deploy disaster risk financing solutions that protect vulnerable communities before crisis strikes.
Working with governments, international organizations, and financial institutions, we champion innovative approaches that build resilience against extreme weather, climate events, and catastrophic shocks.
Our Focus Areas
Financial Inclusion
Liquidity access and balance sheet protection give financial institutions the capacity to keep lending through a shock — reaching vulnerable clients precisely when recovery capital matters most.
Food Security
Early financing for food shocks reduces the severity and complexity of hunger crises before they escalate.
Institutional Structures
Well-designed institutional structures enable governments, international organizations, and the private sector to design and implement properly layered disaster risk financing — managing moderate and extreme risks more efficiently and at scale.
Reducing Investment Risk
Disaster risk financing solutions protect against direct loss and business interruption — de-risking programs and portfolios for public and private stakeholders wherever climate and disaster risk is growing.
