Description The Philippine City Disaster Insurance Pool (PCDIP) will be structured as a dedicated insurance pool to provide cities with cost-effective, parametric insurance providing near-immediate payouts for post-disaster response.
Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy The Philippines is widely regarded as one of the world's most disaster-prone countries and most likely to be economically impacted by disasters. The proposed Philippine Disaster Insurance Pool Project (PCDIP) seeks to narrow the funding gap between available funds and post-disaster response costs at local government unit (LGU) level in the event of medium-to-high severity events. PCDIP will allow the cities to become self-sustaining in managing disaster risk and protecting and rehabilitating their assets and infrastructure in the event of damage.
Impact Safer, adaptive and disaster resilient communities enhanced
Outcome Financial preparedness for disasters is improved
Outputs

PCDIP established and made operational

DRF capacity of cities increased.
