Making agricultural and climate risk insurance gender inclusive: How to improve access to insurance for rural women

Abstract:

This knowledge brief explores how insurance against agricultural and climate risks that is more inclusive towards women can strengthen the resilience of women, by integrating their needs and preferences. INSURED identifies five key actions and elements to respect in the implementation of gender-responsive insurance.

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).
