Disaster Risk Finance as a Tool for Development

Since 2013 The World Bank Group has
partnered with the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction
and Recovery and the U.K. Department for International
Development to address some of these gaps in evidence and
methodologies. The Disaster Risk Finance Impact Analytics
Project has made significant contributions to the
understanding of how to monitor and evaluate existing or
potential investments in disaster risk finance from a
development perspective, and to the evidence base for where
such investments have development impact.This note
summarizes the findings of this project, presenting the key
messages of a book, a technical report, and 14 research
papers, categorized into four themes.
