INSURED programme
IFAD’s INSURED programme (Insurance for Rural Resilience and Economic Development) aims to build the climate resilience of poor rural households, increase their capacity to manage climate risk and strengthen their livelihoods.
INSURED provides implementation support on agricultural insurance and climate risk insurance to governments and partners across the world (see map below). It also provides capacity-building and technical assistance, and supports the roll-out of insurance schemes linked to agricultural development and financial inclusion activities.
Lessons learned and practical guidance for project designers and implementers are shared through the Insurance Toolkit.
INSURED is a US$6 million programme funded by Sida and implemented by the multi-donor Platform for Agricultural Risk Management (PARM).
