Disaster Risk Financing

Disaster Risk Financing (DRF): GPE is exploring the applicability of risk finance to education as tools for protecting education investments from the impact of natural and man-made disasters that affect tens of millions of children every year. These disasters cause loss of classrooms, learning supplies, and a reduction in school days, which directly impact drop-out rates, and interfere with broader social benefits. Foundations supporting DRF: The Rockefeller Foundation
