| Summary: | • Agricultural insurance is a tool to manage extreme weather events, such as droughts, which are becoming an increasing challenge for smallholder farmers in ASALs:
• After a shock – insurance payouts help coping with losses;
• Direct link with other financial instruments: Help households preserve savings and repay loans
• Prevent sales of productive assets, taking children out of school, reducing consumption
• Before a shock – risk reduction can help increase access to credit and promote investments in agriculture |
