effective in helping to manage natural disaster relief and encourage
agricultural development. Learning from 37 index insurance programmes
around the world, The Potential for Scale and Sustainability in Weather
Index Insurance for Agriculture and Rural Livelihoods distills eight key
principles for scale and sustainability and outlines how donors and
governments can support such risk management initiatives. Find out more
