Derive predicted livestock mortality index

This document briefly explains how predicted livestock mortality index is derived. First, we explain how and why we have separate index-based livestock insurance (IBLI) contracts across Marsabit. We then describe the forage availability proxy we use, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and...
