As the world¡¯s most disaster?prone country, the Philippines faces recurring climate shocks straining public finances, disrupt food systems, and negatively impact poor households, particularly at-risk communities. Delays in financing amplify these impacts, raise humanitarian costs and force families into harmful coping strategies that deepen food insecurity. Climate disaster risk financing and insurance (CDRFI) helps protect climate-vulnerable communities by encouraging early and proactive action, provide fast and reliable funding, and build long-term climate resilience.
The terms of reference (TOR) aim to inform stakeholders about the evaluation, clarify expectations and requirements and guide the evaluation team in its work during the various phases of the evaluation.
