Index-based Livestock insurance to support pastoralists against droughts
• Index Based Livestock Insurance (IBLI) was developed to reduce the impact of droughts on pastoral households. • Research articles published in Food Policy have contributed to the growing knowledge on IBLI and its use. • This research has motivated and supported large private and public investments in the product. • Currently, IBLI has been scaled across much of the drylands in the Horn of Africa. Policy Comments do not include an abstract. (https://www.sciencedirect.com/special-issue/311580/call-for-policy-comments-for-food-policy).
