    FAQs

    How is the NDSI structured and governed?

    NDSI runs on a collaborative structure. A Leadership Group, supported by a Steering Committee and the NDSI Secretariat, provides oversight and takes strategic decisions. Working Groups open to all members advise the Executive and Steering Committee and help carry out key activities. Sub-Committees, each led by nominated co-chairs and staffed by volunteer members with relevant expertise, drive work on fund development, engagement and advocacy, learning and development, and global partnerships.

    Signatories commit to four Action Points that guide how they build ESG principles into their operations:

    • Risk Management: assess, manage and disclose ESG risks across all lines of business, aligning with frameworks such as TCFD.
    • Insurance Solutions: develop inclusive products, such as micro-insurance and nature-based policies, to close the protection gap and build resilience.
    • Sustainable Insurance Thinking: support the net-zero transition by directing investments toward renewable energy, sustainable infrastructure and climate resilience.
    • Policy and Regulatory Engagement: work with policymakers and regulators to shape frameworks that advance sustainable development.

    The African ESG Taxonomy is a shared classification and common language for talking about environmental, social and governance performance in the African context. NDSI is developing it through its Working Groups so that insurers and other stakeholders can discuss ESG consistently. It also lays the groundwork for future ESG standards and supports more comparable reporting across the industry.

    NDSI is open to insurers, reinsurers and industry partners committed to sustainable development in Africa, including policymakers and other organisations that support the Declaration’s goals. Applicants must read and agree to the NDSI Commitment Document and support its principles and Action Points.
