COURSE OVERVIEW

Crucial for securing resources, this training examines modern financing tools (e.g., insurance, contingency funds, catastrophe bonds) and innovative proposal writing to close the fiscal gap in disaster recovery and resilience investment.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

The program aims to equip financial planners and resilience practitioners with the ability to:

• Evaluate Financing Instruments: Distinguish between risk retention (contingency funds, reserve accounts) and risk transfer (catastrophe bonds, parametric insurance, reinsurance).
• Implement Risk Layering: Develop multi-tiered financial strategies where different instruments are triggered based on the frequency and severity of disaster events.
• Draft Bankable Proposals: Master the art of "innovative proposal writing" to access global climate funds (e.g., GCF, Adaptation Fund) and private capital.
• Analyze Fiscal Impact: Quantify potential disaster shocks to the national or sub-national budget to justify upfront investment in resilience.
• Foster Innovation: Identify emerging technologies and "fintech" solutions—such as blockchain for parametric payouts or AI-driven risk modeling—that enhance transparency and speed.

It will be posted soon.

COURSE METHODOLOGIES

The course uses a "Fin-Lab" approach, focusing on real data and active strategy development.

• The "Stress Test" Simulation: Participants are given a mock national budget and a disaster scenario. They must decide which funds to trigger and how to reallocate resources without collapsing the economy.
• Proposal Writing "Sprints": Intensive, timed sessions where groups draft key sections of a resilience investment proposal under the guidance of expert reviewers.
• Instrument "Marketplace": A structured networking session where participants "shop" for the best mix of financial instruments for a specific hazard profile, guided by insurance and finance experts.
• Case Clinics: Deep-dive analysis of successful innovative finance examples, such as the Philippines' Catastrophe Bond or Indonesia’s Pool Reinsurance for state assets.
• Digital Demos: Live walkthroughs of risk analytics platforms and automated payout dashboards to see how "innovation" functions in real-time.
• Pitch Competition: The course culminates in a "Dragons' Den" style pitch where groups present their resilience investment proposals to a panel of mock "Donors/Investors."
