Operating under the privileges and immunities of the AU the ARC Agency through its Secretariat provides Member States with capacity building services for early warning contingency planning and risk 2014 ARC Agency established a financial affiliate ARC Insurance Company Limited (ARC Ltd) which is a specialist hybrid mutual insurance company that issues policies to governments and which aggregates and transfers risk to the international market. ARC through ARC Ltd. and after its capacity building activities provides financing in the form of insurance to African governments to execute pre-approved contingency plans in the event of severe disasters.

The review was intended to enable ARCs Member States Boards and Management to learn from the implementation of the governance model to date; and to chart a course of further refinement and improvement to the governance model and governance practice within the model.
