Disaster risk finance / institutions
Making disaster-risk financing operational in Ethiopia
Ongoing work on Ethiopia’s Disaster Risk Financing Strategy connects institutional and political-economy analysis with practical financing arrangements. It examines mandates, public financial management and coordination, supporting a costed resource-mobilisation strategy and feasible reforms across national and subnational planning and budgeting.
Context and purpose
Ethiopia’s Disaster Risk Financing Strategy needs financing arrangements that can operate within government planning and budgeting systems. The assignment examines the institutional and political-economy conditions for mobilising resources and implementing the strategy.
The work
Ongoing analysis reviews mandates, legal and regulatory arrangements, public financial management and coordination. Consultations with the Ministry of Finance, disaster-management institutions and development partners test responsibilities and priorities. Financing options include public resources, sovereign risk instruments and insurance.
Outputs and use
The work is supporting a costed resource-mobilisation strategy and implementation recommendations. These developing outputs are intended to connect financing options with institutional responsibilities and feasible reforms in national and subnational systems.
