NADMO, Finance Ministry, UNDP launch training to strengthen Ghana’s disaster risk financing

Dr Amina Sammo, National Coordinator of the Insurance and Risk Finance Facility (IRFF) at UNDP Ghana, said disaster risk financing was not merely a financial instrument but a critical tool for sustainable development.

Dubbed the “UNDP Ghana Capacity Development Training on Disaster Risk Financing, Flood Risk Modelling, Technical Assistance Deployment and Payout Management,” the programme seeks to strengthen institutional knowledge and practical capacity in disaster risk financing, risk modelling and the management of financial protection mechanisms.

The training forms part of ongoing efforts by the Government of Ghana and its development partners to strengthen the country’s disaster risk financing architecture and improve financial preparedness for climate-related disasters.
