Our Mission

ARC works with governments to improve their capacity to better plan, better prepare, and better respond to climate and natural disasters, including epidemics of infectious diseases.

This is achieved through continental-scale risk pooling and rapid disbursement of emergency funds, enabling countries to respond within days rather than months.
