Overview

Bangladesh is one of the most densely populated and climate vulnerable countries in the world. Despite impressive economic growth and significant investment in climate preparedness, the country is facing more frequent and severe disasters. Financial management of these growing risks is critical to a resilient future for Bangladesh economy and its food security.

UNDP’s Insurance and Risk Finance Facility is building financial protection into critical sectors for sustainable economic growth in Bangladesh – including agriculture, livestock, rural infrastructure and public financial management of risk.
