Index-Based Livestock Insurance

Project completed

Since 2005, a World Bank project has introduced a novel approach to managing climatic risk with index-based livestock insurance (IBLI). SDC already supports improved pasture management under the Green Gold (GG) program. The livestock insurance is an important complementary activity providing a market-based tool for risk management. The development objective of the project is to ascertain the viability of index-based livestock insurance in Mongolia to reduce the impact of livestock mortality for herders.
