The Centre for Disaster Protection (the Centre) prevents disasters devastating lives, by helping people, countries, and organisations change how they plan and pay for disasters. The Centre is inviting organisations interested in communicating and amplifying the issues in the nexus of development, humanitarian, and climate finance to respond to this request for proposals (RfP) to help deliver the Transformative Media Partnership project. We believe that effective communication is necessary for a more explicit and durable social and political contract on managing disaster risk. Public discourse is key to driving the agenda - and the media plays a critical part in shaping public debate. We want to support informed journalism that cultivates an enabling environment for evidence-based decision making and facilitates a dialogue between citizens, government and the private sector on quality disaster risk finance and where it is needed most. Proposal Submission Your tender must be submitted through jobs_centre@disasterprotection.org with the subject line: 'Grant RfP: Transformative Media Partnership'.

The Centre for Disaster Protection (CDP) is inviting organisations interested in research questions around expanded and improved use of disaster risk finance (DRF) to strengthen resilience in developing countries to respond to this request for research proposals (RfP). The point of departure for the research themes and questions posed here is that Disaster Risk Financing (DRF) is now relatively well established at a global policy level and proof of concept has been established through a growing array of DRF instruments. We now face a second generation of challenges in moving beyond standing up new instruments and pilots towards achieving good quality DRF, on a meaningful scale. We welcome research proposals with a variety of potential research methods or combinations of methods. Submissions are exploratory at this stage and we would expect to work in close collaboration with selected partners to refine and develop research approaches.
