\u201cWe are looking forward to working with the Government of Ghana to deepen the relationship not only with the Agency and our sister company ARC Ltd, but also to build solidarity with its neighbours and the African continent at large.\u201d- Mohamed Beavogui<\/p>\n

The Government of Ghana has signed a Programme of Work (Programme) with the African Risk Capacity (ARC) on the margins of the Joint Board Meeting of the African Risk Capacity Agency, and its financial affiliate, African Risk Capacity Limited which commenced today in Accra.<\/p>\n

The Programme will help the Government of Ghana to improve responses to extreme weather events and natural disasters as well as prepare the country to possibly take out insurance from ARC Ltd.<\/p>\n

Opening the ceremony, the Chairperson of the ARC Agency Board, Dr. (Mrs.) Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, commended the Government of Ghana for its great efforts towards continuously building its capacity to manage disaster risks. \u201cWe take this opportunity to encourage the Government of the Republic of Ghana to join the ARC insurance risk pools, which would not only allow Ghana to benefit from financial protection against drought for the 2019 agricultural season, but also reinforce the pan-Africanism and solidarity values which strongly define Ghana today\u201d, she said.<\/p>\n

Ghana joined the African Risk Capacity programme on 28th January 2016 by signing the Establishment Agreement followed by the Memorandum of Understanding in June same year. In 2017, the country signed the first Programme Workplan for a duration of two years.<\/p>\n

Signing the Programme on behalf of the Government of Ghana, Hon. Kwaku Agyemang Kwarteng, Deputy Minister of Finance and Member of Parliament, welcomed the Board members of ARC, and noted that Ghana is honoured to be the first country to host the Joint Board of the ARC Agency and the ARC Limited. Pointing out that the challenges of climate risks pose a big threat to Ghana\u2019s sustainable development, Hon. Agyemang Kwarteng expressed the hope that \u201cOur (Ghana\u2019s) collaboration with ARC will help the country to improve its responses to extreme weather events and natural disasters which are impeding the achievement of certain components of the SDGs to which His Excellency, President Nana Akufo-Addo is passionate about\u2026.\u201d The Hon. Deputy Minister expects that the Programme of Work will also help prepare the Government to purchase sovereign insurance for smallholder farmers.<\/p>\n

The Government of Ghana, as part of its commitment to implementing the priority areas of the Sendai Framework, is strengthening disaster risk management and governance system of the country. The Ghana Parliament has passed a National Disaster Management Organization Act 927 which established the National Disaster Fund for the country to which the Government has made contribution.<\/p>\n

Hon. Eric Nana Agyemang-Prepeh, the Director-General of National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) stated that Ghana has completed a Country Customisation Process and Contingency Plan as well as determining of the Risk Transfer Parameters. Hence, \u201c\u2026with the signing of the Programme of Work, NADMO is optimistic that the Government will soon sign onto the ARC insurance programme to deploy the Africa RiskView (ARV), developed by ARC Agency for monitoring extreme weather events, help build resilience of smallholder farmers against drought, flooding, and other natural disasters towards achieving the relevant Sustainable Development Goals for Ghana.\u201d<\/p>\n

As with many African countries, Ghana is affected by natural disasters including coastal erosions, droughts, bushfires, and floods; but has always shown commendable leadership in finding African solutions to African problems, hence its membership of African Risk Capacity.<\/p>\n

The Director-General of ARC Agency, Mr. Mohamed Beavogui, indicated that the signing of the Programme attests to the enormous trust of the Government of Ghana in the ARC mechanism; and promised that the two parties will now work together to successfully actualise the purpose, terms and commitments contained therein. \u201cWe are looking forward to working with the Government of Ghana to deepen the relationship not only with the Agency andour sister company ARC Ltd, but also to build solidarity with its neighbours and the African continent at large.\u201d, Mr. Beavogui said.<\/p>\n

To derive the full benefits from its membership, Ghana will need to ratify the Establishment Agreement and take out an ARC Limited insurance cover. Such a step will augment the commitment of the Government of Ghana as shown both in establishing and making generous contribution into the National Disaster Fund.<\/p>\n

The African Risk Capacity model is an innovative, cost-effective, and is proving that it can assist member-states to strengthen their capacities to better plan, prepare and respond to extreme weather events and natural disasters, thereby achieving the food security for their populations.<\/p>\n

The aim of Kapital Afrik is to provide financial and political news, give priority to human entrepreneurial experiences, lend life to economic policies, givemeaning to statistics. Our \u201cexaggerated pretensions\u201d inspire us. We will strive, and gradually, to conceive, comfort and reach them. Three versions, three approaches and a global vision. The website is constantly on the news. The newsletter relays information every morning to executives, bankers, university financiers, students. The monthly edition analyzes the information and explains the setbacks. A single credo initiates our journalistic approach: information = actors, facts = a pluralistic vision. We aspire to neutrality, but we assume our subjectivity","inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/www.financialafrik.com\/en\/2019\/02\/18\/ghana-hosts-african-risk-capacity-joint-board-meeting-signs-programme-of-work-to-improve-responses-to-extreme-weather-events-and-natural-disasters\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/www.financialafrik.com\/en\/2019\/02\/18\/ghana-hosts-african-risk-capacity-joint-board-meeting-signs-programme-of-work-to-improve-responses-to-extreme-weather-events-and-natural-disasters\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/www.financialafrik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_3259.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/www.financialafrik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_3259.jpg","width":4352,"height":2904,"caption":"L-R: Director-General of ARC Agency, Mr. Mohamed Beavogui and Hon.
