A unique public–private partnership, the IDF helps close protection gaps so that people, businesses and nations can recover faster from disaster, attract investment and thrive.
Led by industry and co-chaired by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the World Bank Group, the IDF aligns insurance expertise with public policy and development priorities to drive resilience. It brings together change agents from across sectors to help build future-ready nations.
What we believe
Insurance capabilities can help nations shape a more resilient future that allows them to thrive and grow. Especially relevant for Emerging Markets and Developing Economies (EMDEs), insurance offers more than post-disaster payouts. Its capabilities allow countries to assess, manage and transfer risks before shocks occur. This protects development, people and assets, stabilises national budgets, and secures investments.
Insurance connects vulnerable economies to larger pools of capital. It reduces financial volatility and creates the predictability needed for long-term planning. By managing risks in advance, insurance builds confidence for future growth.
Insurance is a mission-critical pillar of national progress. It helps build future-ready nations.
