One of the biggest challenges facing Index Based Livestock Insurance is consumer education to catalyse demand. The communities in the target areas have low written literacy levels and mobile phone coverage can be sporadic. ILRI.org World Bank Kenya CTA #ScalingResilience

This calls for promotion of livestock insurance for pastoral communities to serve as one way to mitigate losses to pastoralists through mortalities. ILRI.org #ScalingResilience World Bank Africa CTA FAO Eastern Africa

One of the injustices of the #ClimateCrisis is that those most affected are considered not trustworthy. Insurances can give back trusts to farmers: trust that they can adapt to climate shocks & stand on their own feet, & trust to be included in markets. #ACRIFA #ACS2023

#ARC Replica climate insurance supports governments to better plan, prepare & respond to natural disasters. We are excited that #ACRIFA will expand this approach from the national to the meso & farmers level. With 15+ years experience, we are building on what simply works #ACS23

What #smallholders worldwide have in common: They are trust-worthy and need the world’s trust to build a better future. We need to show this trust in making finance accessible, in honoring their hard work in rebuilding ecosystem and in empowering their children. Africa Cybersecurity Series

Thanks Martin Frick this is indeed what is needed to enhance protection against climate shocks.
