What CBI Member Networks Do
Local business coalitions working together to prepare for, respond to and recover from crises.
Coordinated Response
CBI Member Networks bring together businesses operating in crisis-prone regions to coordinate their preparedness and response efforts. So when a crisis strikes, CBI Member Networks activate pre-established protocols, share resources, and pool logistics capabilities to ensure faster recovery for both their operations and surrounding communities.
Better Crisis Preparedness
Beyond crisis response, CBI Member Networks facilitate knowledge exchange, collective risk assessments and joint investments in resilient infrastructure. Members gain access to early warning systems, participate in scenario-planning workshops and contribute to regional business continuity frameworks.
CBI Impact at a Glance
CBI works with chambers of commerce, trade federations and business-led NGOs to coordinate aid effectively before during and after crises.
CBI Annual Report 2024-25
The Connecting Business Initiative (CBI) Annual Report 2024-25 provides an overview of our activities in private sector disaster preparedness, response, and recovery during an 18-month period of unprecedented global challenges, together with stories and learning curves that demonstrate the transformative power of public-private partnerships.
Working within the humanitarian system
CBI bridges the gap between the private sector and the traditional humanitarian system. By partnering with OCHA and UNDP, we ensure that business-led responses are coordinated, avoid duplication of efforts and align with international humanitarian principles.
