The IDF is a unique public-private partnership, led by the insurance industry and co-led by the United Nations Developing Programme and the World Bank.
We bring together the best minds in governments, the private sector, development and multilateral institutions – the IDF Change Agents – to reimagine insurance as a tool for resilience and growth – not just to withstand shocks, but to unlock investment, enable entrepreneurship, and long-term prosperity.
We engage partners across the private and public sectors to drive action. We implement projects. And advocate for the creation of the enabling environment needed to achieve our goals.
Together, we help build future-ready nations. So that people, communities and businesses can recover from disaster, attract investment and thrive.
