The IDF is a public-private partnership led by the insurance industry and supported by international organisations.
It is on a mission to optimise and extend the use of insurance and its related risk management capabilities to build greater resilience and protection for people, communities, businesses, and public institutions that are vulnerable to disasters and their associated economic shocks.
Member organisations, drawn from across all sectors, are listed on the IDF website at www.insdevforum.org.
The InsuResilience Solutions Fund fosters the development of needs-based and financially sustainable climate risk insurance products in developing and emerging countries, increasing the resilience of poor and vulnerable households against extreme weather events and natural catastrophes.
As implementing programme of the InsuResilience Global Partnership the ISF is an important contribution of the German Government funded by KfW Development Bank to achieve the target of the international initiative on climate risk insurance, ‘InsuResilience’
