African Risk Capacity (ARC)

The African Risk Capacity (ARC) was established by the African Union (AU) in 2012 as an African owned, index-based weather risk insurance pool and early response mechanism that combines the concepts of early warning, disaster risk management, and risk finance. ARC's mission is to develop a pan-African natural disaster response system that enables African governments to meet the needs of people at risk to natural disasters (ARC 2016).

ARC is comprised of two entities: ARC Agency and its financial affiliate, ARC Limited. The ARC Agency is the capacity building, educational, and advocacy arm of ARC, responsible for making AU Member States and the broader public aware of ARC’s mission and goals. Engagement of countries with ARC includes a 9-12 month capacity building programme on the elements of early warning, risk modelling (particularly Africa Risk View (ARV), ARC’s proprietary software application which combines rainfall data with information on crop parameters and vulnerability data to estimate drought-related response costs and define triggers for the parametric insurance), contingency planning, disaster risk management and risk financing. ARC Limited is a sovereign level mutual insurance company that provides weather index based insurance coverage to Member States.

The East African Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture (EACCIA) has been in existence since September 2005. It was originally launched in Arusha, Tanzania, in February 2006 and owned by the three national chambers from the states which were members of the East African Community (EAC) at that time, namely: Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. It has since evolved to incorporate all other chambers and private sector federations throughout the EAC. Broadly speaking, its main objective is to lobby the regional governments for the creation of a conducive business environment. The chamber is expected to dialogue with various organs of the East African Community, national, as well as international institutions, impacting on business to facilitate this. Apart from its advocacy role, the EACCIA is also expected to undertake some development projects on behalf of its constituent Chambers. This includes coordinating many of the PPP related projects by assisting in the creation of local consortia, which can bid for a large development project initiated by national governments in the region.
