Scaling Investments in Resilience - Technical Working Group Brief

The first DRRP Technical Working Group on Scaling Investment in Resilience, held in Brussels on 2 June 2026, brought Programme partners together to explore how resilience investment can be strengthened and scaled across OACPS regions. 

Discussions highlighted a clear priority: investing before disasters occur is more effective and sustainable than relying predominantly on post-disaster response and recovery. Participants also stressed that finance alone is not enough. Stronger governance and institutional capacity, better integration of risk information into investment decisions, more robust pipelines of investable projects, and greater engagement with the private sector are all essential to scaling resilience, in particular in the framework of the Global Gateway strategy.
