UNDP’s Work on Inclusive Insurance and Risk Finance Initiative in Indonesia :
Disasters and the varied direct and indirect impacts of climate on economies, value chains, livelihoods and well- being play a significant role in deepening vulnerability in developing countries.
In some cases, the financial impact has been devastating, especially for developing countries, with the financial burden often falling directly upon the countries themselves.
Meanwhile, humanitarian assistance, which often meets the emergency needs of developing countries in the immediate aftermath of disaster is at its highest point ever, but when it comes to the aftermath of disaster, it is still less than needed, the remainder being born by communities, business and government and families themselves.
Indonesia is a key emerging market with the largest economy in the ASEAN region. In 2018, the country has seen its poverty rate reduced by more than half since 19991.
On the other hand, as an archipelago, Indonesia is constantly at risk of tsunamis, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions.
During 2021 alone, Indonesia experienced more than 5000 disasters, with the top 3 being floods (33%), extreme weather events (29%) and landslides (24,5%) (BNPB, 2022)2.
Furthermore, these disasters resulted in an alarming number of casualties (728 people), displacement (7.630.692), and damage of properties (158.
658 houses) and public facilities (4.445). Nevertheless, steps towards improved and comprehensive disaster risk management have been taken by the government by adopting insurance and risk financing solutions that recognize the different severity and frequency of disasters.
Enabling policies and regulations have been put in place to foster collaboration between the government and the insurance industry to scale up insurance coverage to spur a cycle of economic benefits, including increased investment in the economy, reduced budgetary pressure on government in the face of disasters, and greater socio-economic security for citizens.
As part of its continued support to address new uncertainty complex, UNDP established Insurance and Risk Finance Initiative that will catalyse partnerships between government and the insurance industry to manage and reduce risks and address insurance protection gap globally.
Within the Indonesian context, UNDP Insurance and Risk Finance Facility (IRFF) has completed a Country Diagnostic that documented and assessed the inclusive insurance and risk financing in Indonesia.
Through this Country Diagnostic, UNDP identified challenges and drew recommendation for areas where UNDP can, together with partners and building on the existing work and progress, contribute into improving the enabling environment for inclusive insurance and risk financing, and develop and deploy specific solutions relevant to the country context.
Based on the results and recommendations of the diagnostic report, a programmatic workplan has been developed as basis for the implementation of the insurance and risk finance initiative together with the strategic partners.
