Description
Summary:The International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI), supported by CCAFS, worked with the R4 Rural Resilience initiative in Ethiopia - a collaboration between the World Food Programme, Oxfam, and other partners - to build tools for participatory design of agricultural index insurance.
