Centre for Disaster Protection - Relaunch Expanding and improving Disaster Risk Finance Grant

Tender description

The Centre for Disaster Protection (CDP) is inviting organisations interested in research questions around expanded and improved use of disaster risk finance (DRF) to strengthen resilience in developing countries to respond to this request for research proposals (RfP). The point of departure for the research themes and questions posed here is that Disaster Risk Financing (DRF) is now relatively well established at a global policy level and proof of concept has been established through a growing array of DRF instruments. We now face a second generation of challenges in moving beyond standing up new instruments and pilots towards achieving good quality DRF, on a meaningful scale. We welcome research proposals with a variety of potential research methods or combinations of methods. Submissions are exploratory at this stage and we would expect to work in close collaboration with selected partners to refine and develop research approaches.
