Introduction

A. Background information

The global economy has become increasingly interconnected and complex, leading to greater
uncertainty and risk. As a result, the need for effective risk management systems has become
increasingly important. To address this, organizations have been adopting integrated risk management
systems to identify, assess, and manage various types of risks, including financial, operational, strategic,
and reputational risks

In recent years, digitalization has become a key strategy for enhancing risk management systems.
Digitalization refers to the use of digital technologies to transform traditional processes and systems,
leading to greater efficiency, accuracy, and effectiveness. One area where digitalization is particularly
relevant is in the early warning of disasters, which can have significant economic and social impacts. By
leveraging digital technologies, organizations can improve their ability to detect and respond to
potential disasters, minimizing their negative impact.

To support the digitalization of risk management systems, financial instruments have emerged as a key
enabler. Financial instruments refer to contracts that generate financial assets for one party and
financial liabilities or equity instruments for another party. Financial instruments can be used to provide
funding for digitalization initiatives, such as the development of new technologies, and to transfer risk to
other parties, such as insurers or investors.

In particular, financial instruments such as government grants, public-private partnerships, Development

Bank Loans, and research grants can play a crucial role in supporting the digitalization of the integrated
system of risk management and early disaster warning systems. They can help in assuring funding for
new project, mitigating risks, leveraging expertise, and in accelerating processes.

The European Union has recognized the importance of digitalization and risk management in its
Directive 2022/2557 on the digitalization of integrated risk management and early disaster warning
systems. The directive outlines a framework for the digitalization of risk management systems, including
the use of financial instruments to support digitalization efforts.

In summary, financial instruments have emerged as a key enabler for the digitalization of risk
management systems, including the integrated system of risk management and early disaster warning
system. The use of financial instruments can help organizations manage risk related to natural disasters
and provide the financial resources necessary to respond to disasters when they occur.
B. Purpose and significance of the study

The purpose of this study is to explore the role of financial instruments in the digitalization of the
integrated system of risk management and early disaster warning system, in accordance with the
European Union Directive 2022/2557. Specifically, the study aims to identify the financial instruments
that are most suitable for supporting digitalization efforts and enhancing the effectiveness of the
integrated system of risk management and early disaster warning system.

The significance of this study lies in its contribution to the understanding of how financial instruments
can support digitalization and risk management efforts. The study will provide insights into the benefits
and limitations of various financial instruments, such as government grants, public-private partnerships,
development bank loans, and research grants, for managing risk related to natural disasters.
Additionally, the study will examine how financial instruments can be used to support the development
of new digital technologies, which can improve the efficiency and accuracy of the integrated system of
risk management and early disaster warning system.

The study is particularly relevant given the increasing frequency and severity of natural disasters in
recent years. Natural disasters can have significant economic and social impacts, and effective risk
management systems are essential for minimizing these impacts. By leveraging digital technologies and
financial instruments, organizations can improve their ability to detect and respond to potential
disasters, ensuring that they have the financial resources necessary to respond when disasters occur.

Moreover, the study is important for policymakers and regulators who are responsible for developing
policies and regulations related to risk management and digitalization. The European Union Directive
2022/2557 highlights the importance of digitalization and risk management, and this study will provide
valuable insights into how financial instruments can support these efforts.

In summary, this study will contribute to the understanding of the role of financial instruments in the
digitalization of the integrated system of risk management and early disaster warning system. The study
is significant given the increasing frequency and severity of natural disasters and the importance of
effective risk management systems. The findings of this study will be valuable for organizations,
policymakers, and regulators who are interested in enhancing their risk management and digitalization
efforts.

C. Research questions

Based on the purpose and significance of the study, here are three potential research questions that
could guide this research:

1. What financial instruments are most effective for supporting the digitalization of the integrated
system of risk management and early disaster warning system in accordance with the European
Union Directive 2022/2557?
 2. How can financial instruments be leveraged to support the development of new digital
technologies that improve the efficiency and accuracy of the integrated system of risk
management and early disaster warning system?
3. What are the benefits and limitations of different financial instruments, such as government
grants, public-private partnerships, development bank loans, and research grants, for managing
risk related to natural disasters and supporting digitalization efforts?

These research questions could be refined or expanded upon as the study progresses, but they provide a
starting point for investigating the role of financial instruments in the digitalization of the integrated
system of risk management and early disaster warning system.

D. Methodology

III. Financial Instruments for Digitalization

Finance instruments play a crucial role in supporting economic development and innovation. This
literature review explores the characteristics, benefits, challenges, and impacts of four prominent
finance instruments: government grants, public-private partnerships (PPPs), development bank loans,
and research grants. By examining a range of scholarly works, this review aims to provide a
comprehensive understanding of these instruments and their significance.

A. Description of financial instruments

Government grants

Government grants play a crucial role in providing financial support to individuals, organizations, and
businesses for specific purposes.

Several studies have explored the impact of government grants on economic growth. Jones and Williams
(2018) found that government grants positively influence research and development (R&D)
expenditures, leading to technological advancements and knowledge creation. Their research suggests
that grants act as catalysts for innovation, enhancing productivity and economic performance. Similarly,
Zhang et al. (2019) demonstrated that government grants play a vital role in encouraging
entrepreneurship and facilitating job creation. By providing financial assistance and support, grants
stimulate entrepreneurial activities, ultimately contributing to economic growth.

Advantages of Government Grants include:

1. Fostering Innovation and Research: Government grants play a vital role in fostering innovation
and research. They provide financial support for research and development (R&D) activities,
enabling organizations and individuals to explore new ideas, technologies, and solutions (Hall et
 al., 2019). Grants can stimulate breakthrough discoveries, leading to technological
advancements and economic growth (Jones & Williams, 2018). Moreover, government grants
often target specific sectors or industries, directing resources towards areas of strategic
importance for national development (Zhang et al., 2019).
2. Encouraging Entrepreneurship and Job Creation: Government grants are instrumental in
encouraging entrepreneurship and facilitating job creation. By providing financial assistance and
support, grants reduce the barriers to entry for aspiring entrepreneurs (Zhang et al., 2019). They
can help entrepreneurs bring their innovative ideas to fruition, fostering the establishment of
new businesses and the expansion of existing ones. The resulting job creation not only benefits
the individuals directly involved but also contributes to overall economic growth (Zhang et al.,
2019).
3. Addressing Market Failures and Public Goods: Government grants can effectively address
market failures and promote the provision of public goods. In cases where private sector
investment is insufficient or unlikely, government grants can bridge the funding gap, enabling
the development of critical infrastructure, social services, or research projects (Agrawal et al.,
2019). Grants help ensure the provision of essential services that may not be financially viable
for the private sector alone, benefiting society as a whole.

The challenges of government grants include:

1. Grant Misallocation: One significant challenge associated with government grants is the
potential for misallocation of funds. Grant misallocation can occur due to factors such as
information asymmetry, bureaucratic processes, or political influences (Agrawal et al., 2019). In
some cases, grants may be awarded based on subjective criteria rather than objective
assessments of project viability and impact. This misallocation may lead to inefficient resource
allocation and hinder the effectiveness of grants in achieving their intended objectives.
2. Market Distortions and Inefficiencies: Government grants have the potential to create market
distortions and unintended consequences. Selective grant allocation may favor specific firms or
industries, potentially creating imbalances in the market and affecting fair competition (Agrawal
et al., 2019). Distortions can arise when grant recipients gain a competitive advantage over their
counterparts, leading to inefficiencies and potentially inhibiting overall market performance.

3. Administrative Burden and Red Tape: The administration of government grants often involves
complex processes and bureaucratic procedures, leading to administrative burdens for both
grantors and recipients. Excessive paperwork, lengthy application and reporting requirements,
and delays in disbursement can hinder the efficient utilization of grants (Agrawal et al., 2019).
The administrative burden may discourage potential grant applicants, particularly smaller
organizations or individuals with limited resources, from accessing grant opportunities.
Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs)

PPPs encompass diverse structures and models depending on the nature of the project and the involved
sectors. Sánchez et al. (2018) highlight the three primary types of PPPs: service contracts, management
contracts, and joint ventures. Each type varies in the level of private sector involvement, risk sharing,
and financial arrangements. Furthermore, PPPs can cover sectors such as transportation, energy, water,
healthcare, and education, among others.

Advantages of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) include:

1. Enhanced Efficiency and Innovation: One of the primary advantages of PPPs is the ability to
leverage private sector expertise and efficiency in project implementation. PPPs allow for
innovation in project design, construction, and operation, leading to improved service quality
and cost-effectiveness (Hodge et al., 2019). The private sector's profit incentive encourages the
use of efficient technologies, management practices, and performance-driven outcomes
(Sánchez et al., 2018). This collaboration often results in optimized resource allocation and
increased project efficiency.
2. Access to Financial Resources: PPPs enable access to additional financial resources beyond the
public sector's budget constraints. The private sector brings in its investment capital, allowing
governments to undertake larger infrastructure projects that might not have been feasible
through traditional funding mechanisms alone (Araral et al., 2019). This access to private
financing diversifies the funding sources, reduces the burden on public budgets, and spreads the
financial risks.
3. Risk Sharing and Transfer: PPPs offer a mechanism for sharing and transferring risks between
the public and private sectors. By allocating risks to the party best equipped to manage them,
PPPs help mitigate project risks and ensure accountability. The private sector's involvement can
bring expertise in risk identification, assessment, and mitigation, leading to better risk
management practices (Hodge et al., 2019). This risk-sharing mechanism minimizes the financial
exposure and potential cost overruns for the public sector.

Disadvantages of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) are:

1. Complex Contractual Arrangements: PPPs involve complex contractual agreements between

public and private entities. Negotiating and managing these contracts can be challenging,
requiring expertise and resources. The complexity can lead to delays and increased
administrative costs (Hodge et al., 2019). Poorly drafted contracts or inadequate risk allocation
can create disputes, affecting project timelines and outcomes.
2. Information Asymmetry and Imbalanced Power Dynamics: PPPs often involve information
asymmetry, with the private sector possessing more knowledge and expertise than the public
sector. This imbalance can result in negotiations that are not equitable or may not fully align
with the public interest. The private sector's profit motive can lead to concerns about cost
overruns, excessive user fees, or inadequate service delivery (Hodge et al., 2019). Effective
governance mechanisms and transparency are essential to mitigate information asymmetry and
ensure the public sector's interests are safeguarded.
 3. Potential for Rent-Seeking Behavior and Corruption: PPPs can be susceptible to rent-seeking
behavior and corruption. The involvement of private entities in public projects can create
opportunities for undue influence, favoritism, or lack of transparency. Rigorous oversight,
transparency mechanisms, and anti-corruption measures are critical to minimize the risks of
rent-seeking behavior and corruption (Hodge et al., 2019).

Development Bank Loans

Development bank loans play a vital role in supporting economic development and promoting
sustainable growth in many countries. These loans are provided by development banks, which are
specialized financial institutions with a mandate to foster economic progress, infrastructure
development, and social welfare. Development bank loans are designed to address the financing needs
of governments, private enterprises, and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in areas such as
infrastructure, education, healthcare, and poverty reduction.

Advantages of Development Bank Loans are:

1. Infrastructure Development: One of the key advantages of development bank loans is their
significant contribution to infrastructure development. Development banks provide long-term
financing for essential infrastructure projects, such as transportation networks, energy facilities,
and water and sanitation systems (Navarro, 2018). These loans help bridge the infrastructure
investment gap and facilitate the construction and maintenance of critical public assets that
support economic growth and improve living standards.
2. Support for Social Programs: Development bank loans also enable governments to finance social
programs aimed at reducing poverty, improving education, healthcare, and social welfare. These
loans provide the necessary resources to implement initiatives that enhance human capital,
promote social inclusion, and address societal challenges (Navarro, 2018). By supporting social
programs, development bank loans can contribute to reducing inequality and improving the
overall quality of life for disadvantaged populations.
3. Access to Financing: Development bank loans offer an avenue for countries and businesses to
access financing that may be otherwise unavailable or expensive through traditional commercial
lending sources. Development banks typically provide loans at favorable interest rates, longer
repayment terms, and with flexible conditions (Navarro, 2018). This access to financing enables
governments, private enterprises, and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to undertake
projects that drive economic growth, create jobs, and stimulate investment.

Disadvantages of Development Bank Loans include:

1. Debt Burden and Sustainability: One of the primary concerns associated with development bank
loans is the potential for creating a debt burden for borrowing countries. Excessive borrowing
and unsustainable debt levels can strain government budgets and compromise long-term fiscal
stability (Kose et al., 2019). If loans are not utilized efficiently or if economic conditions
deteriorate, the repayment of loans can become challenging, leading to a cycle of increasing
debt and financial vulnerability.
 2. Conditionality and Policy Influence: Development bank loans often come with conditionality,
requiring borrowing countries to implement specific policy reforms or adhere to certain
guidelines. While conditionality is intended to promote good governance and policy
improvements, it can also impinge on a country's sovereignty and limit its policy autonomy
(Kose et al., 2019). Moreover, the influence of development banks on policy decisions may not
always align with the priorities and needs of the borrowing country, potentially undermining
local ownership and development objectives.
3. Procurement Challenges and Project Quality: Another challenge associated with development
bank loans is the potential for procurement challenges and issues related to project quality. In
some cases, complex procurement procedures and bureaucratic processes can result in delays,
inefficiencies, and corruption risks (Kose et al., 2019). Additionally, inadequate project design,
monitoring, and evaluation mechanisms can lead to subpar project outcomes, diminishing the
developmental impact of the loans.

Research grants

Research grants are funding mechanisms provided by various institutions, such as government agencies,
foundations, and private organizations, to support scientific research endeavors. These grants are
essential for enabling researchers to conduct studies, investigations, and experiments in various
academic disciplines and fields of inquiry. Research grants offer financial resources that cover project
expenses, including personnel salaries, equipment, materials, and data collection (Buxton& Hanney,
1996).

Advantages of research grants include:

1. Funding for Scientific Research: Research grants provide crucial financial support for conducting
scientific research. These grants enable researchers to pursue their investigations, collect data,
analyze findings, and disseminate knowledge through publications and conferences. Research
grants facilitate the advancement of knowledge across disciplines, contributing to scientific
breakthroughs, innovation, and the development of new technologies (Slaughter & Rhoades,
2009).
2. Academic and Professional Development: Receiving a research grant offers significant benefits
to researchers in terms of their academic and professional development. Grants provide
opportunities for researchers to expand their expertise, build research skills, and gain
recognition within their fields (Stensaker et al., 2011). The process of preparing grant proposals
also enhances researchers' critical thinking, project management, and communication skills,
preparing them for future academic and professional endeavors.
3. Collaboration and Networking: Research grants often encourage collaboration among
researchers, both within and across institutions. Collaboration fosters the exchange of ideas,
resources, and expertise, leading to interdisciplinary research and the generation of innovative
solutions to complex problems (Borrego & Cutler, 2010). Research grants also facilitate
networking opportunities, enabling researchers to establish connections with peers, industry
professionals, and policymakers, enhancing their visibility and impact.
Disadvantages of Research Grants are:

1. Competitive Nature and Limited Funding: One of the main challenges associated with research
grants is their competitive nature and limited availability of funding. The high demand for grants
often results in fierce competition among researchers, leading to a lower success rate for
applications (Slaughter & Rhoades, 2009). Limited funding can constrain the number of projects
that receive support, potentially hindering research progress and stifling the exploration of
novel ideas.
2. Administrative Burden and Reporting Requirements: Securing and managing research grants
often involves significant administrative burdens and reporting requirements. Researchers must
navigate complex application processes, comply with funding agency guidelines, and meet
reporting deadlines (Borrego & Cutler, 2010). This administrative workload can divert
researchers' time and energy away from their primary research activities, impacting productivity
and impeding the pace of scientific discovery.
3. Narrowing Research Focus and Risk of Unintended Consequences: Research grants typically
require researchers to outline specific research objectives and outcomes. While this focus
ensures accountability and aligns with funding agency priorities, it may inadvertently restrict
researchers' ability to explore tangential or emerging areas of inquiry (Stensaker et al., 2011).
Such constraints can limit the exploration of unconventional ideas, potentially impeding
innovation and serendipitous discoveries.

III. Case Study Analysis

A. Case study of AZUR projects using financial instruments for digitalization

Asocijacija za upravljanje rizicima je nevladina organizacija iz Sarajeva Bosna i Hercegovina, koju je 2014.
godine pokrenuo INZA Institut za upravljanje rizicima i naučnoistraživački rad zajedno sa članovima
akademske i poslovne zajednice. Fokus rada Asocijacije od njenog osnivanja je bio na razvoju projekata
za oporavak zajednice nakon katastrofalnih poplava 2014. godine, da bi u narednim godinama
Asocijacija proširila svoje djelatnosti na razvoj projekata za smanjenje rizika od katastrofa u okviru
programa UNDRR i implementacije ciljeva iz Sendai Okvira 2015-2030. Kapitalni projekti koje je vodila
Asocijacija AZUR su finansirani iz različitih domaćih i međunarodnih fondova.

Kada su u pitanju domaći projekti, Asocijacija je u saradnji sa Ministarstvom obrazovanja Kantona

Sarajevo uspješno pokrenula projekt edukacije iz oblasti zaštite i spašavanja, cyber sigurnosti i
energetske efikasnosti, te u saradnji sa INZA Institutom i niz manjih projekata na izradi procjena
ugroženosti, planova zaštite i spašavanja te GIS digitalizacije lokalnih zajednica u Bosni i Hercegovini
(BiH). Zajednički je digitalizirano 20-tak lokalnih zajednica sa aspekta zaštite od požara, poplava,
zemljotresa, pandemije, terorizma i neeksplodiranih minsko-eksplozivnih sredstava. Pored isporučene
opreme, dokumentacije i programa, lokalnim zajednicama je održan i trening za upotrebu digitalnih GIS
alata za upravljanje rizicima.

Kada je riječ o međunarodnim fondovima Asocijacija AZUR je uspješno implementirala projekte

prekogranične saradnje u oblasti zaštite od požara između BiH i Crne Gore. Nakon realizacije ovog
projekta u vrijednosti od 400.000 Eura, Asocijacija AZUR je zajedno sa Ravnateljstvom Civilne Zaštite pri
Ministarstvu Unutarnjih poslova Republike Hrvatske, uspješno provela projekt Jačanja struktura zaštite i
spašavanja u BiH i njeno uvođenje u Mehanizam Civilne zaštite EU (EU4 Better Civil Protection) u
vrijednosti od 1.498.000 Eura.

Nadležne institucije razvile su kapacitete kako bi Bosna i Hercegovina postala sudionik / učesnik u
Mehanizmu Unije za civilnu zaštitu. Institucije civilne zaštite kao i interventne i spasilačke snage
sposobne su zajedno djelotvorno odgovoriti u slučaju katastrofe u Bosni i Hercegovini. Uspostavljen je
pristup smanjivanju rizika od katastrofa kroz integriranu procjenu rizika u planove za pripremljenost na
cijelom području u Bosni i Hercegovini. Osigurana je vidljivost projekta i kvalitetno izvještavanje o
projektu i njegovim realizovanim aktivnostima.

U okviru realizacije ovih projektnih aktivnosti u radnom paketu 3 Uspostave sistema DRR u lokalnim
zajednicama BiH, izrađena je potpuna digitalizacija mapa rizika, uticaja i kapaciteta za 15 lokalnih
zajednica na prostoru oba entiteta, uvažavajući složenu državnu strukturu i različite nadležnosti. Sve
lokalne zajednice su opremljene IT infrastrukturom i licenciranim GIS aplikacijama, koje se umrežavaju u
jedinstven sistem.

Također, Asocijacija AZUR je u saradnji sa drugim projektnim partnerima uspješno provela i projekt
WACOM unutar INTERREG programa saradnje u slivu rijeka Dunav i Sava, u vrijednosti od 1.500.000
Eura, koji je kao jedan od reprezentnih rezultata isporučio i GIS bazu podataka i aplikaciju za upravljanje
rizicima od poplava i onečišćenja u slivu rijeke Save i zemalja Slovenije, Hrvatske, BiH i Srbije. Pored
regionalnog povezivanja eksperata i razmjene dobrih praksi, što su bili ciljevi ovog projekta, uspostavljen
je alat i obučeno osoblje u nekoliko gradova nizvodno na rijeci Savi, koji jedni drugima mogu pomoću
uspostavljenog sistema ranog upozoravanja dojavljivati potencijalne incidente onečišćenja i poplavnog
vala. U svakoj od lokalnih zajednica je provedena i planska simulacijska vježba na osnovu zajednički
kreiranog scenarija i uz korištenje GIS digitalnog alata za upravljanje rizicima.

U saradnji sa UNDRR kancelarijom za smanjenje rizika od katastrofa i Ministarstvom sigurnosti Bosne i

Hercegovine, Asocijacija AZUR je provela i niz aktivnosti u cilju jačanja otpornosti lokalnih zajednica, od
kojih treba posebno istači stručno-naučnu konferenciju na temu „Jačanje Platforme za smanjenje rizika
od katastrofa u lokalnim zajednicama BiH“, na kojoj su pored međunarodnih i domaćih autoriteta bili i
predstavnici preko 70 lokalnih zajednica u BIH. Na ovom se skupu govorilo i o finansijskim instrumentima
koje lokalne zajednice mogu koristiti u realizaciji svojih ideja i projekata od značaja za razvoj i zelenu
ekonomiju.
