BACKGROUND

The African Risk Capacity is a Specialized Agency of the African Union established in 2012 as an African-owned index-based weather risk insurance that provides African countries with tools and products to quantify and manage disaster risk. ARC offers a comprehensive, integrated solution that transfers weather risk away from governments - and the vulnerable households they protect to ARC. This enables governments to build resilience and better plan, prepare for and respond to extreme weather events.

ARC Agency established its first financial affiliate, ARC Insurance Company Limited (ARC Ltd) in 2013 as a sovereign risk pool in the form of a mutual insurer owned by Member Governments. Whereas the ARC Agency provides capacity building services to Member States in risk profiling, contingency planning, and monitoring and evaluation; ARC Ltd., issues weather insurance policies to governments. It uses ARC’s risk modelling and early warning software platform _Africa RiskView_ to estimate the impact of weather events on vulnerable populations. Besides it also estimates the response costs required to assist them - before a hazard season begins, and as it progresses, so that index-based insurance pay-outs, based on Africa RiskView, are triggered at or before harvest time if the rains are poor or as soon as a severe flood or cyclone has occurred.

As part of its principles of engagement, the ARC Group adopts a differentiated approach to issues of gender equality. ARC considers the promotion of women’s empowerment and gender equality an important factor in creating long-term impacts and sustainability. In this perspective, in a bid to ensure that its operational responses and its capacity building work have a differentiated approach to men and women, ARC adopted its Gender Strategy in September 2019. The Gender Strategy, which is a result of intensive consultations with all its stakeholders has as its goal to transform Disaster Risk Management (DRM) approaches to ensure gender equality for vulnerable women and men in ARC Member States. The Gender Unit is in the process of implementing its refreshed, innovative and ambitious Plan of Action for 2025 to 2029, it is in this context that ARC seeks to recruit a Programme Officer to assist in realising the ambitious objectives of the refreshed plan of action.
