In this way it attempts to shift the disaster risk management architecture to be proactive, not reactive, says Ndlovu.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen dealing with risk mitigation and management, one needs to examine the reason why governments don\u2019t act. On the insurance side, one of the issues to address is around premium affordability because it\u2019s quite expensive to insure against natural disasters and payment of premium competes against other national priorities,\u201d explains Ndlovu.<\/p>\n<p>Sovereigns which participate in the ARC programme must also develop a contingency plan which sets out at a very high level how the government would spend any insurance pay out they receive from ARC Limited.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough this plan, we ensure the funds get to the intended beneficiaries. Having a plan increases dramatically the speed of execution because at a point the government received the funding, it already has a plan on how to disburse this,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Insurance builds resilience<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Emily Jones<\/strong>, Climate and Disaster Risk Financing\u00a0Advisor for WFP, highlights the challenges of convincing authorities to be more proactive than reactive when preventing human suffering and hardship when events like drought occur.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Unfortunately, no one person or organisation can make the necessary shift alone. Change starts with building resilience and insurance plays a significant role in that, particularly in climate change,\u201d says Jones.<\/p>\n<p>Governments pay a premium every year and receive their agreed-upon pay-out if and when a predicted disaster occurs. &#8220;This money can then be used to help those people affected, with the remainder of the pay-out going towards covering other consequences that might not have been expected, such as conflict or a loss of progress in terms of important local development projects,&#8221; she says.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Humanitarians are working on highlighting the need to predict crises and act before they manifest to avoid human suffering. After all, why wait if you don&#8217;t have to?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>ARC Limited is the first African company to join the UN-convened Net-Zero Asset Owner Alliance. With US$100 million in its kitty, the organisation has the largest balance sheet dedicated to climate risks in Africa.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pdfprnt-buttons pdfprnt-buttons-post pdfprnt-top-bottom-left\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Climate change must be our greatest priority in disaster risk reduction space Africa must build resilience proactively if it is to change the disaster risk architecture \u00a0With COP26 around the corner, our focus should be on the devastating impact of climate change as we mark International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction today, observed annually to<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":527180,"featured_media":473758,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"aside","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"translated_post_url_fr":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[11996,12065],"tags":[16023,19926],"class_list":{"0":"post-473757","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-aside","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-finance-en","8":"category-press-releases","9":"tag-arc-ltd","10":"tag-lesley-ndlovu","11":"post_format-post-format-aside","12":"pmpro-has-access"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.5 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>ARC Ltd CEO Statement on International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction - Financial Afrik<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Headed by Adama Wade and his team of 20 journalists, Kapital Afrik offers strategic and financial information to executives and managers.
