Insurance can help build resilience for small-scale producers – an urgent task in today’s high-risk world. But integrating agricultural and climate risk insurance into rural development projects is a multi-step process that needs careful planning and preparation.
A rapid diagnostic for agricultural and climate risk insurance lays the groundwork for sound, context-specific decisions regarding the design and effective implementation of an insurance workstream. INSURED has created a new tool in the Insurance Toolkit explaining how to carry out a rapid diagnostic – who to talk to, what to ask and why.
INSURED is a technical assistance programme working to strengthen agricultural insurance in IFAD’s portfolio. The programme is generously funded by Sida and implemented by IFAD through the Platform for Agricultural Risk Management (PARM).
