Three innovative projects designed to help countries in Southern Africa protect against the risk of agricultural disasters have won a Challenge Fund led by the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR); the Platform for Agricultural Risk Management; the Centre for Disaster Protection; and the World Bank’s Agriculture Observatory, Disaster Risk Financing and Insurance Program and its London Hub. The three winning ideas propose agriculture and food security risk financing tools to help inform and support public sector policy and program decision-making in the region, with the aim of better allocating public resources to reduce economic losses, poverty and food insecurity.
Thanks for this news update Fotios Stravoravdis. 55 Submissions for the Challenge Fund Grants is great. It is also good to learn who submitted the top three proposals. Keep up the great work.
