Emerging lessons on pre-agreed financing for shock-responsive social protection in Mozambique
This study, conducted by the Centre for Disaster Protection in collaboration with the Social Protection Technical Assistance, Advice, and Resources (STAAR) Facility, investigates the potential opportunities, benefits and risks when linking disaster risk financing (DRF) and shock-responsive social protection (SRSP) in Malawi. The report contributes to a broader study that includes research across three country case studies (Jamaica, Malawi, and Mozambique) to consider the opportunities, potential risks, and benefits of channelling disaster risk financing instruments through national social protection systems. The focus of this report is Mozambique.

THE STATE OF PRE-ARRANGED FINANCING FOR DISASTERS 2024
The State of Pre-arranged Financing for Disasters 2024 is a unique source of data and analysis on the level of effort of international development donors to support a shift towards arranging financing for disasters, before shocks happen. In its second year, the Centre’s annual analysis of trends and patterns in international development financing for pre-arranged financing for disasters also presents the latest available data on coverage and payouts provided by these instruments.

THE STATE OF PRE-ARRANGED FINANCING FOR DISASTERS 2023
Planning and preparing for shocks pays. Prearranged Financing (PAF) for disasters has the potential to significantly increase the predictability, speed and effectiveness of responses to shocks. Currently, it is unclear how much pre-arranged finance is required to protect crisis-vulnerable people against risk, how much coverage there is in place, and how far we are from achieving adequate coverage, targeted to the right places, for those people most at risk. This data-led report collates the best available data to start to assess and monitor annually the state of pre-arranged financing supported with international development financing in low-and middle-income countries.

FUNDING DISASTERS: TRACKING GLOBAL HUMANITARIAN FUNDING FOR RESPONSE TO NATURAL HAZARDS
This study analysed international financial flows to nine countries (Kenya, Lesotho, Peru, Mozambique, Haiti, Vanuatu, Nepal, Indonesia, and DRC) for the 18 months after recent crises (drought, flood, cyclone, earthquake, and epidemic) to understand funding timelines and other features.

FUNDING COVID-19 RESPONSE: TRACKING HUMANITARIAN AND DEVELOPMENT FUNDING TO MEET CRISIS NEEDS
For the past year, the Centre has tracked funding via the multilateral system intended to support the covid-19 response in low- and middle-income countries. This research has highlighted the flaws in the current system which is not always able to support response where need is greatest.
