This five-year plan marks a shift from incremental adaptation to long-term transformation. It positions CCRIF to lead the region’s resilience financing agenda, strengthen fiscal stability, and ensure that parametric insurance becomes a widely understood and accessible tool for governments, utilities, sectors, and communities. CCRIF’s success is rooted in partnership - with our members, development partners, regional institutions, and stakeholders across the Caribbean and Central America.
The final runs of the CCRIF tropical cyclone loss model for wind and storm surge have produced government losses for Nicaragua and Honduras. The government losses for Nicaragua and Honduras are below the Attachment Point of their respective Tropical Cyclone policies and therefore no payout under their respective policies is due.
Dear Members,
