The Global Shield Financing Facility (GSFF) Gender Strategy builds on lessons from the Global Risk Financing Facility’s Gender Action Plan and emerging global good practices in gender-responsive disaster risk finance and insurance (DRFI). Key lessons highlighted include the importance of building World Bank team capacity on gender and DRF, using communications to promote women’s leadership and the business case for gender-smart DRFI, and investing in research to strengthen evidence and integration of gender considerations.

The strategy outlines how GSFF systematically integrates gender into its operations and encourages grantees to incorporate gender-responsive approaches into DRFI instruments and insurance schemes. It aligns with the World Bank Group’s corporate gender strategy and serves as a living document that will evolve as more evidence and experience emerge.
