Our purpose

The Insurance Development Forum (IDF) is a public-private partnership dedicated to optimising and extending the use of insurance and risk management capabilities to build greater resilience and protection for vulnerable countries.

By aligning industry expertise with public policy and development priorities, the IDF supports nations to better understand, reduce and finance risk – helping them recover faster, unlock investment and achieve sustainable growth.

We take action together. To build a foundation for the future. To help build future-ready nations.
