\u201cIt is imperative to encourage AU Member States to subscribe to the ARC mechanism considering the level of success it has achieved in bringing a complementarity that can address challenges associated with the causes of migration within the five years of its existence.\u201d – <\/em>H.E. Sacko Josefa Leonel Correa<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The AU Commission (AUC), African Risk Capacity (ARC), African Development Bank (AfDB), and the UN Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), on the margins of the ongoing 32nd Ordinary Session of the Assembly of the African Union in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, held a High-Level Side Event under the theme: \u201cMigration and Displacement in Africa: Addressing the underlying causes through innovative risk financing mechanisms.\u201d<\/p>\n

Opening the roundtable discussions, the Chairperson of the African Risk Capacity, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala indicated that theme resonates to the theme of the 32nd Ordinary Session on \u201cRefugees, Returnees and Internally Displaced Persons: Towards Durable Solutions to Forced Displacement in Africa\u201d. \u201cThe session is a good opportunity to open the conversation about natural disasters and discuss innovative financing mechanisms that we could use on the continent to proffer a realistic solution to the underlying causes of migration, notably natural disasters and extreme weather events\u2026\u201d, she said.<\/p>\n

The discussants deliberated on how the continent can better respond to the increasing migration and forced displacement in Africa which have been worsened by the increasing frequency of droughts, floods, and other extreme weather events through an innovative risk financing mechanism.<\/p>\n

\u201cConsidering that the livelihoods of more than 70% of Africans depend on farming, the \u2018High 5 Agenda\u2019 of the AfDB identified \u201cFeed Africa\u201d as one of the pillars with the aim, among other initiatives, to enhance resilience and response to climate shocks in regional member countries\u201d, said Prof Vincent Nmhielle, Secretary General of the AFDB, who represented the President, Mr. Akinwunmi Adesina. \u201cOur goal is to help unlock the potential of agriculture in the continent; hence the Bank\u2019s introduction of the Africa Disaster Risk Financing (ADRiFi) programme to scale up the protection against extreme weather events in rural areas and expand access to ARC\u2019s risk transfer facilities for African Union Member States\u201d, stated Prof. Nmhielle.<\/p>\n

The ADRiFi programme is in line with the AUC Executive Council decision – EX.CL\/Dec.952 (XXX) \u2013 which \u201cEncourages and welcomes the African Development Bank (AfDB) initiative to develop financial mechanisms to fund disaster insurance premiums for ARC Member States.\u201d It offers countries up to 50% premium support for the first four years of joining the programme. African Member States were encouraged to use this opportunity to join the ARC, so that the mechanism can become sustainable.<\/p>\n

The representative of the Economic Commission for Africa, Mr. Stephen Karingi, Director of Regional Integration and Trade Division, stated that \u201cthe partnership with ARC will be mutually rewarding as the two institutions work together to increase insurance coverage against climate risks for African States.\u201d<\/p>\n

The UNECA and ARC, formalised their collaboration with the signing of an MoU in January 2018, targeted at building the capacity of Member States by embedding risk management investments into government planning. In collaboration with the World Bank, \u201cwe are developing an African academy for index insurance targeted at training national experts to support the decision-making process relating to Disaster Risk Financing tools on the continent. This also extends to fostering private sector interest in this type of insurance mechanism in Africa\u201d, said Mr. Karingi.<\/p>\n

The African Union Commissioner for Rural Economy and Agriculture H.E. Sacko Josefa Leonel Correa, stated that considering the interdependency of migration, food security and climate change, the deployment of an effective climate risk financing mechanism is key to addressing the underlying risks and causes of climate-induced migration and displacement in Africa. Hence, \u201cit is imperative to encourage AU Member States to subscribe to the ARC mechanism considering the level of success it has achieved in bringing a complementarity that can address challenges associated with the causes of migration within the five years of its existence\u201d, she said.<\/p>\n

The event was held in line with Executive Council Decision (EX.CL\/Dec. 997 (XXXII)), where the Council \u201cFurther Requested the Commission to engage with ARC to develop concrete mechanisms and instruments of collaboration to raise awareness and galvanize political support amongst Member States\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith all the institutions working together towards the same goal to ensure that the continent has financial protection against natural disasters, we now need Africa to play its part\u201d, stated Mr. Mohamed Beavogui, the Director-General of African Risk Capacity.<\/p>\n

In 2015, ARC demonstrated that the concept was indeed working, with 26 million dollars paid to three countries in the Sahel as early as a few weeks after the end of the harvest, following significant rainfall deficit in the region. This allowed the beneficiary countries to rapidly deploy assistance to 1.3 million people, and 900\u00a0000 cattle. In 2017 and 2018, additional funds were triggered, 8.1 million USD to Malawi, and in 2018, 2.4 million USD to Mauritania. To date, countries have taken out coverage of approximately 500 million dollars, and paid 60 million USD of premium.<\/p>\n

The outcome the high-level session is expected to provide strengthened support to the African Risk Capacity by encouraging the African Union Member States join and ratify the ARC Treaty; boost involvement of African insurance and reinsurance companies as well as other financial institutions to expand the scope of tools and risk financing available to the continent; and hence attract international partners\u2019 contribution in supporting the implementation of Africa\u2019s initiative in disaster risk management and financing.<\/p>\n

Other participants included representatives from African Member States, private sector agencies, the donor community, civil society organisations and the media<\/p>\n
