- Project Impact
-
The impact of this TA will be a strengthened financial resilience of participating Pacific Island countries to the effects of natural disasters.
- Project Outcome
-
The outcome of this TA will be an improved geophysical-information-environment supportive of both government and development partner decision-making regarding hazard exposure and risk minimization, and additionally supportive of the development of a catastrophe insurance scheme.
- Project Outputs
-
The TA will support the development of as many as fourteen (and at least eight) national, and a consolidated regional, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) encompassing hazard and vulnerability data critical to the future development of a Pacific regional catastrophe insurance scheme. The GIS once developed will be important for governments and development partners' decision-making, providing information about the frequency, economic impact and impact on population centers of hurricanes and earthquakes. The TA will further support the analysis of this regional data with respect to the suitability of the Pacific region for catastrophe insurance coverage. Outputs will also include two stakeholder consultation meetings at the regional level. The outputs of the TA will form a component of broader work to develop a catastrophe insurance facility for the Pacific being led by the World Bank. The TA will be undertaken over a 17-month period.
