Summary

Growing risk exposures due to climate change and subsequent natural hazards have significantly increased Asia’s protection gaps. Understanding of these risks and the corresponding risk management solutions remains limited, resulting weakening national resilience.

The Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI) and Global Asia Insurance Partnership (GAIP) recognize the need to raise developing countries' awareness of risks and protection gaps and strengthen their capacity to evaluate risks and develop appropriate risk management solutions. ADBI and the GAIP propose the ADBI-GAIP Capacity Building for Risk Resilience Program (CBRRP) for ASEAN+3 countries.

The CBRRP will engage policymakers to strengthen risk awareness and deepen understanding of risk management and resilience. Capacity building activities will include workshops and webinars to discuss protection gaps, solutions for building risk resilience, and potential tools. The CBRRP builds on the regulatory workshops jointly organized by ADBI and the GAIP in 2022 and 2023 and complements the development of the GAIP-ADBI Online Risk Platform.

This proposed workshop (1a) is the first under the CBRRP and is being organized in collaboration with the Ministry of Finance of the Lao PDR.
