Our Work

Disaster planning saves money and lives‍

Too often disasters are measured in lost lives and livelihoods because crisis funding arrives too late.

We work to stop disasters devastating lives by helping governments and organisations change how they plan and pay for disasters.

When money and support are in place before disaster strikes, responses are faster, fairer, and more effective.

Pre-Arranged Finance

Less than 2% of international crisis finance is arranged in advance

Our latest report shows that global attitudes are changing as pre-arranged finance reached an all-time high of $9.4 billion in 2024, with growth across all country groupings and types.
