Yesterday marked a major milestone with the launch of the Africa Nature Risk Pool (ANRP)—an innovative initiative by
@ZEPRE_PTAReins, in partnership with
@UNDPAfrica @COMESA_HQ,
@ABEntheos, and
@acreafrica.
This new model introduces insurance as a financial buffer for communities living alongside wildlife—where conservation success often comes with the increased risk of human-wildlife conflict (HWC). For farmers and pastoralists, this means protection against the losses that can follow wildlife encounters, especially in climate-stressed regions.
In my address, I highlighted that this provides an excellent opportunity for multisectoral partnership because much like health insurers depend on medical assessments from doctors, insurers addressing HWC will rely significantly on civil society organizations like the
@AWF_Official for detailed monitoring, evidence collection, and risk assessments.
This is a modern solution to a modern challenge—bringing together finance, conservation, and community resilience. Coexistence is not only possible—it can be secure, sustainable, and smart.
Thank you for the invite to witness this groundbreaking initiative and the opportunity to share insights on how this could be a game changer in the sector.
Looking forward to the potential partnership opportunities ahead!
