WFP's latest factsheet on Understanding Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance Solutions in the Asia Pacific is now LIVE 🚀 🌍 Countries in the Asia Pacific region are the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate-related events. The diversity of climate-related risks and hazards they face underscores the critical need for Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance (CDRFI) instruments which can help reduce the economic and human cost of disasters. While most disaster response finance across the region is arranged post disaster, there is also scope for disaster risk financing instruments that could potentially be arranged in advance of a shock. Therefore, WFP undertook a study 📚 to explore the challenges and opportunities associated with the use of various macro-level CDRFI instruments to support government disaster response strategies. Read this factsheet which summarizes the key findings and recommendations of the study 📝 👇 Learn more https://lnkd.in/df9XBPgJ

World Food Programme and the Mastercard Foundation join forces to empower young people in countries across Africa 🌾🌍 In 2022, WFP and the Mastercard Foundation embarked on an ambitious partnership to promote youth employment in agriculture in Africa. The programme aims to make local agrifood systems more efficient, sustainable, and inclusive for young people across eight African countries (Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Tanzania, and Uganda). To achieve that, it provides various services to youth and youth-led enterprises – including training, input provision, technology, financial literacy mentorship, business development services, and market linkages to the private sector. In #Uganda, programme participation has allowed Ponsiano to find a new income source in the maize value chain. Living in Kyegegwa, in Western Uganda, Ponsiano had to drop out of school due to lack of funds for school fees. He then began learning metalwork with his uncle, which inspired him to join a WFP one-week training on building maize shellers. These ‘post-harvest’ machines are designed to separate corn grains from cobs in a swifter, more efficient way – reducing losses and improving the quality of the maize. Whether in production, food processing, service provision, distribution, or marketing, the WFP-Mastercard Foundation partnership aims to give Ponsiano and other youth the tools they need to plan, set goals, and achieve them.
