Description Institute (ILRI), with many partners, has pursued a substantial
research for development program to design, develop and
implement market-mediated, index-based insurance products
that protect livestock keepers in arid and semi-arid lands
(ASALs) from drought-related asset losses.
From the first pilot in 2010, adoption of Index-Based
Livestock Insurance (IBLI) has taken place in Isiolo, Marsabit
and Wajir in northern Kenya and in Borena zone in Ethiopia
(Mude et al. 2010). IBLI has further expanded its operations
to Mandera and Garissa in northern Kenya.
As the pilot begins to scale up and out with increasing
momentum, understanding market functions and extension
delivery mechanisms is a necessary step to offering IBLI to
more pastoralists in remote, infrastructure-limited areas in
a cost-effective, timely and sustainable manner.
