The partnership sets the foundation for joint work to strengthen disaster risk finance solutions for all pools and ultimately help protect member countries better. Joint activities could include developing and sharing best practices in parametric model development and management, data management relating to parametric insurance instruments and disaster risk financing.

To this end, the partnership also foresees joint communication and capacity-building activities.

Working together to will be beneficial to all of us. As the newest sovereign risk pool, we are looking to learn from the experience of our three new partners that came before us.
