How can countries move from analysis to action on disaster risk reduction financing?
In this final episode of UNDRR’s e-learning series on financing disaster risk reduction (DRR), we bring together all five steps to show how countries can build a national DRR financing strategy.
You’ll learn how governments can:
• Move beyond disaster response to invest in prevention and risk reduction
• Combine financial resilience and disaster prevention into one coherent strategy
• Use evidence on disaster costs, climate scenarios, and public finance impacts to guide decisions
• Reform budgets, public investment systems, and financing frameworks
• Match priority DRR investments with the right mix of public, private, and donor financing
• Assign responsibilities, timelines, and secure political buy-in for implementation
🧩 A strong DRR financing strategy helps countries reduce disaster losses, protect public finances, and safeguard development gains — before disasters strike.
This module is designed for policymakers, practitioners, and development partners working on risk-informed development, climate finance, and resilience building.
▶️ This episode concludes the DRR financing e-learning series. Thank you for watching!
