Project Synopsis

CARE Bangladesh and its partner AOSED-An Organization for Socio-Economic Development are implementing the BMZ funded 3-year ‘Multi-Actor-Partnerships on  Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance (MAP CDRFI)’ project in the southwest coastal region of Bangladesh since July 2023. The MAP-CDRFI is led by CARE Germany in cooperation with Germanwatch and is a multi-country initiative in the Caribbean (Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Grenada, Dominica, St. Lucia), Malawi, Madagascar, Senegal, Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh with a regional and global focus. The InsuResilience Global Partnership (IGP) which has been evolved into the ‘Global Shield against Climate Risks’, looks for a more comprehensive application through this multi-country project considering poverty focused principles in a way that the CDRFI mechanisms established or under design. The project focuses on piloting, advancing and scaling up approaches which are adapted to the needs of poor and vulnerable populations and are poverty-focused, gender-equitable and human rights-based. The aim of the project is to strengthen the structures, coordination and networking of MAP cooperating organizations and partners, to promote a just climate risk financing mechanism nationally and internationally with insights and recommendations from the affected community, public sector, duty bearers, academia and researchers, civil society, NGOs and related private sector representatives from the sub-national level.

Achievements and Milestones

MAP stakeholders - governments, civil society, the private sector and academia - have consolidated their cooperation structure in the two focal areas, including increased involvement of vulnerable populations and local civil society.

The structures of MAP collaborating partners and their networking together increase the evidence and awareness of the needs of local civil societies, especially women and vulnerable groups and brings their perspectives to bear in modifying existing CDRFI mechanisms or developing new pilot approaches under the MAPs.

Local civil society develops positions and proposals on how climate and disaster damages faced by vulnerable populations can be addressed through poverty-focused, gender-responsive and human rights-based pre-agreed CDRFI solutions.
