Founded in 2018, the ITTF Foundation was created by the International Table Tennis Federation as an independent nonprofit organization. The Foundation aims to create positive impacts through table tennis in communities worldwide. The ITTF Foundation operates through five programs to foster development through table tennis, contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The team tirelessly designs and implements initiatives that promote inclusivity, education, and empowerment, ensuring that the sport becomes a catalyst for positive social change. As a nonprofit organization we collaborate closely with local project implementation partners while we assist with planning, financial support, and knowledge sharing. Additionally, we connect with the Parkinson's community globally to promote the use of table tennis for enhancing well-being and health, particularly against neurodegenerative diseases.
The Philippines Partnership for Sustainable Agriculture (PPSA) is a multi-stakeholder partnership platform initiated by Grow Asia, a regional platform for inclusive and sustainable agriculture development in Southeast Asia catalyzed by the World Economic Forum and the ASEAN Secretariat. Grow Asia's goal is to reach smallholder farmers in ASEAN through its Country Partnerships like the PPSA to build regional and country partnerships and broker market-driven solutions for more inclusive, resilient, and sustainable food systems in Southeast Asia. PPSA was formally launched by Grow Asia together with the Philippine Department of Agriculture and through the collective efforts of various stakeholders. PPSA, with the Department of Agriculture and East West Seed as its Co-Chairs, has brought together more than 160 organizations, reaching more than 120,000 smallholders through commodity Working Groups (WGs) focused on Coconut, Coffee, Corn, Vegetables, Rice and Fisheries as well as cross-cutting or thematic working groups on Agri-financing, Digital Agriculture, and the Learning Alliance. Since its beginnings in 2015, PPSA has been driving partnerships that work on value chain studies, knowledge sharing, and market linkage. The latter being the most identified value it brings not only to the core members, but to an extended network of market players, from multinational companies, cooperatives, farmer associations, groups, and individual farmers. The monetary value realized by companies, and farmers alike resulting from the market linkaging initiatives facilitated marks the index of the greater benefit it gives to the lives, families, communities, and localities of the farmer producers, while also contributing to the larger spectrum of value chain development, and stable market for food security in the country. As PPSA moves forward in positioning itself as an enabler of multi-stakeholder partnerships for sustainable and inclusive food systems that empower and transform smallholder farmers to be self-reliant and resilient, we seek to harness the collective strength of agricultural value chain players towards transforming food systems to become climate positive and inclusive through market-driven solutions. We do this through our three work streams on: GrowTogether - As a multi-stakeholder platform, we build a synergy of committed partners towards increased adoption of inclusive value chain models and sustainable innovations for agriculture; GrowBetter - We organize and facilitate knowledge management programs to build/enhance the capacities of partners, including smallholders, in support of scaling inclusive value chain models, and promoting and facilitating increased assistance to smallholder farmers; and GrowAgri - We facilitate action-oriented dialogues with policymakers and public/private stakeholders to enhance policies and plans towards increased and responsible investments for agriculture.
OUR MISSION Humanity Insured's mission is to stop climate disasters causing poverty in the most vulnerable communities by increasing these communities' financial preparedness. WHY WE DO IT Climate change disproportionately impacts the c.3.6 billion people who make-up the poorest and most at-risk communities. The costs associated with climate risks for these communities are projected to escalate steeply in the coming decades. By 2030 the impacts of climate change are estimated to cost developing countries between US$290 billion and US$580 billion annually, rising to between US$1,132 billion and US$1,741 billion by 2050 (R. Mechler, L.M. Bouwer, T. Schinko, S. Surminski, J. Linnerooth-Bayer (eds.), Loss and Damage from Climate Change: Concepts, Methods and Policy Options, 2019). The livelihoods of many in these countries are highly reliant on, and vulnerable to climate shocks. Yet the anticipatory risk-transfer and financial preparedness tools that are commonly used in developed markets, most notably insurance, remain out of reach for these communities. While 35% of the natural catastrophe-related losses globally over the last decade were insured, the figure for developing countries was less than 10% or even close to zero (Munich Re, Natural disaster risks - Rising trend in losses). Providing insurance for these communities is crucial for both financial stability and well-being. It ensures quick recovery after disasters, reduces financial hardships, and promotes resilience (University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership, Mutual microinsurance and sustainable development, 2016). Without insurance, these communities remain trapped in a cycle of poverty, unable to rebuild and recover effectively after climate-induced disasters. The absence of insurance exacerbates economic instability and vulnerability, making it difficult for these populations to achieve long-term development and progress. This fundamental imbalance demands a solution whereby underserved populations are empowered to access the financial safety nets that make preparedness and resilience possible. Humanity Insured seeks to make this happen. HOW WE DO IT The most vulnerable communities on the climate crisis frontline are primarily excluded from the insurance market because the products and solutions are too expensive and not designed for the specific climate risks and impacts local communities are facing. Humanity Insured addresses these market failures by making climate insurance available and affordable at scale for the first time to communities at the greatest risk of climate-induced poverty in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Through the robust safety net insurance provides we ensure smallholder farmers, coastal communities, urban workers, and displaced populations have the resilience to withstand the increasing risks posed by climate change and extreme weather events. We do this by: 1. Mobilising philanthropic and private sector capital to pay a portion of the insurance premium and fit-for-purpose climate insurance solutions that prepare and protect communities. In some instances, we will also work with partners to create capital pools that provide guaranteed payments to communities when a pre-agreed climate event happens. 2. Funding climate modelling and analytics that enable communities to understand the climate risks they face. This access to information will inform decisions on how communities can best adapt and prepare. 3. Funding, alongside the insurance protection, a community's access to resilience building assets or training that reduce climate-related impacts on livelihoods. 4. Creating collaborative funding opportunities that provide protection to more people. Financing for resilience building solutions is relatively accepted and covered by other funders from across the donor community. However, philanthropic funding for premium payments and capital pools for scientifically triggered, guaranteed financial protection is severely underfunded as many donors have not yet adopted it as common practice. Humanity Insured aims to fill this funding gap, therefore most of our grants will be allocated to the purchase of insurance (or other mechanisms of scientifically triggered, guaranteed financial protection). Where possible we fund insurance that provides a layer of financial protection on top of adaption or resilience building efforts financed by another organisation (e.g., providing drought insurance in conjunction with another organisation's funding for better irrigation practices). OUR IMPACT In making insurance available at scale to the most climate-vulnerable communities, Humanity Insured will stop climate disasters from driving poverty by: 1. Providing financial security and protection that unlocks a virtuous cycle of investment and income growth, which secures livelihoods and improves lives. 2. Establishing guaranteed safety nets that empower communities to prepare for and recover after climate shocks. 3. Multiplying the impact and value of funds available for communities on the climate frontline by (i) re-directing funding towards pre-emptive solutions that build resilience, and (ii) leveraging funds from an insurance balance sheet to support community recovery after climate shocks. By directing funds to the activities detailed above, Humanity Insured will help people grow confidence and resilience, so they can invest in everything from education to new farming techniques. For the first time, the global insurance industry is coming together with philanthropy and jointly backing an initiative to help protect the world and ensure everyone can progress. Our short-term goal is to collaborate with insurance, philanthropy, and other private sector industries to leverage $2 billion of insurance capacity by 2030 for 10 million people on the climate-crisis frontline.
