Incubating a Promising
Financial Solution for the Drylands:
Toward Sustainable Index-Based Livestock Insurance (IBLI) for
Pastoralists
CCAFS Science Seminar, May 30th ILRI Nairobi
Science to Deliver Adaptation and Mitigation in East African
Agriculture

Insurance as a Development Tool
• Decades of evidence exist that risk
• Makes people poor by reducing incomes & destroying
assets: and,
• Keeps people poor , by discouraging investment &
distorting patterns of asset accumulation
• The arid pastoral regions of Northern Kenya, and
Southern Ethiopia are an archetype of risk & coping
• Development impacts of risk reduction technologies
(insurance) should therefore be significant.
• Index-based livestock insurance (IBLI) – an innovative
insurance product leveraging satellite data to estimate
livestock losses – first deployed as a pilot in 2010.

Insurance as a Development Tool
THE IBLI R&D CHALLENGE
Can index-based insurance make a significant and sustainable
contribution to the challenge of helping pastoralists manage the
considerable risk of drought-related livestock losses they face?

IBLI Program Summary
• IBLI R&D agenda, supported by a range of donors, has been comprehensive and
contributed to catalyzing a nascent but growing industry.
• Program launched in 2008 to offer a timely, sustainable, safety net against
catastrophic drought shocks on pastoralists.
• 2011 drought triggered contracts in all covered areas serving as an important proof-
of-concept indicator.
• 2012 initial pilot launch in Southern Ethiopia. 2013 IBLI began to scale in Kenya
beyond pilot site in Marsabit
• Rigorous IBLI impact assessments have revealed considerable socioeconomic and
behavioral benefits drawing policy and development partner support.
• Government of Kenya has committed to scaling up IBLI under the Kenya Livestock
Insurance Program (KLIP).
• March 2017, KLIP/IBLI paid out over Ksh225 million to 12,500 households
representing close to 90% of insured households. 25% of these received the
maximum payment possible for short rains failure.
• Work remains to ensure efficient and sustainable large scale coverage

1. Precise contract design:
2. Evidence of value and Impact:
3. Establish informed effective demand,
4. Low cost, efficient, delivery mechanisms
5. Policy and institutional infrastructure.
Components of a Sustainable Index-Insurance
Program

Precise Contract Design
• Objective (Initially): To insure
against drought- related livestock
mortality. Asset Replacement.
• Index: Predicted average livestock
mortality.
• Contract Evolution: From Asset
Replacement to Asset Protection
• Index: Seasonal Forage Availability

Evidence of Impact and Value
Methods:
• Panel survey for impact assessment
• Monitoring Evaluation and Learning
surveys and interactions
Evidence:
• Wide range of positive household
impacts
• Quantification of risk-coverage precision
of contracts
• Indication of value-for-money for public
expenditure
For references refer to https://ibli.ilri.org/publications/

Establish Informed Effective Demand
• Capacity Development, Training,
Extension and Marketing
 Critical for ensuring impact and scaling
efficiently
 Unlocks a rich and important new research
agenda
Level 1: Knowledge and
tools for government and
insurance industry policy
makersLevel 2: Knowledge, skills
and job aids for IBLI/KLIP
sales agents and
promoters
Level 3: Awareness raising
for potential clients

Low-cost, Efficient Delivery
• Need to solve for the cost of service provision in the drylands
• Application of digital technological solutions
 will be critical to reducing costs and going to scale

Policy and Institutional Structure
• Sustainable, large-scale index insurance
program requires a clear and well articulated
policy structure
• No example of unsubsidized private market for
index insurance in developing countries.
Globally only 7% of transaction volume is purely
private.
• Experience and evidence suggests that for
programs to go to scale they need to build on
strong, well-coordinated public and private
sectors
• In Kenya we serve together with the World Bank
as invited technical and policy advisors for KLIP
• What are the key roles for each sector?

Moving Toward Sustainable Scale
Africa Classification for IBLI
“Relevance Zones”
(Mills et al., 2017 ILRI Brief)
• Growing body of evidence continues to highlight the socioeconomic
and risk-management value of index insurance programs, and the
logic of public support.
• IBLI experience has made a contribution to this evidence, and to
identifying some of the barriers to scale and trying to solve for them
• Going to scale will require careful research and development efforts
to further unlock the barriers, and an alignment of policy and
technological forces.
• INVESTMENTS NEEDED IN:
• Additional evidence on household and poverty impacts of IBLI, integration with
other complementary interventions targeting poverty alleviation, risk-
management and graduation to prosperity (cash transfers, graduation etc)
• Improvements in contract design and validation and alignment with other
related index-based products/programs (ARC, scalable HSNP etc)
• Development of internationally recognized product quality metrics
• Development of digital platforms and data infrastructure for cost-efficient
product and information delivery, capacity development, impact assessment
and product design

Gender Power in the Kenyan Dairy
Sector
Katie Tavenner, PhD
Post-Doctoral Fellow – Gender Research
CCAFS Science Seminar
JVC Auditorium, ILRI Nairobi campus
May 30, 2017

Why focus on gender power?
 Dairy is a male dominated sector
 Increased commercialization (re: adoption of
intensification practices) tends to reinforce men’s
dominance in value chains
 Gender dynamics mediate farmers’ ability to effectively
participate in and benefit from low emissions dairy
development
 Gender analysis reveals how intrahousehold dynamics,
social institutions, and value chains work together to
influence on-farm practices and market engagement

Gender Power Issue I: Milk Marketing
 Intensification of dairy production in Kenya is being
achieved through formal milk market participation
 Market participation is embedded in local gender norms,
that affect how men and women engage in milk
marketing
 Localized notions of masculine household headship
influence farmer decisions over whether/where to sell
morning and evening milk
 Example: Direct payments to women for formal evening milk
marketing may not actually address whether women can control that
income!

Gender Power Issue II: Labor
Dynamics
 Daily dairy labor is predominantly carried out by women
– Need for trainings to be targeted towards
women….but also to go beyond quotas to understand
intrahousehold labor and decision making dynamics
 Additional labor from intensification of production likely
to be borne by women – Need for labor alleviating
technologies
OnAfricanDairyPortal

Gender Power Issue III:
Intersectionality
 Intersectional axes create different gendered capabilities
for farmers to engage in and benefit from dairy
intensification
 Farmer’s engagement in dairying is patterned not only
by whether they identify as male or female, but by how
their gender ‘intersects’ with their ethnicity, culture,
marital status, age, race, wealth status, and religious
affiliation
 Example: Single women may not need to deal with ‘contested
headship’ issues (they can own cattle, make decisions about
resources), but they may lack the financial support or time to
intensify dairy production

Gender Power Issue IV: Gender Equity
 Gender equity defined as, “fairness in participation and
benefit from development” - is a cultural construct
 While development practitioners often have specific
notions of what constitutes equity, men and women
smallholders do too
 A sole focus on “getting the indicators right” obscures the
complexity of how gender power operates dynamically
and relationally within and across households,
institutions, and value chains

Richards et al. 2016 Scientific Reports
Why we need empirical studies
Prediction error for smallholder cropping
systems
Models likely using incorrect emission factors
Hickman et al.
2014
Why are the emission factors
incorrect?
• Limited dataset
•Models use emission factors from other
regions
•These other regions have different climate /
soils / management / animal breeds, etc

Why is this important?
• National inventories for IPCC calculated using (most likely)
incorrect data (TIER 1 approach),
• Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMA) depend on
correct understanding of current emissions and projected
effects of the mitigation actions,
• (Intended) Nationally Determined Contribution ((I)NDCs) can
only be tackled with profound understanding of the systems ,
• Currently we have no accurate estimates of either of these, nor
do we know the direction of change with changes to land
management
• Environmental in-situ data for African continent remains scarce
-> bias not-only in earth system models
14

What have we found so far:
GHG emissions from smallholder farms in east Africa
•Baseline N2O emissions from agricultural soils
were also low when compared to other regions
• Soils are often depleted of both C and N and likely require
inputs of both to improve fertility

Median Mean
Study 1* 0.18 0.28
Global average (Kim et al.

However…
• Moving from Tier 1 to Tier 2, without changing the methane
conversion factors increases emission estimates
• Likely the same for N2O (Owino et al. in prep)

Why is this important?
Livestock and enteric fermentation
• African farmers are amongst the least efficient livestock
producers in terms of GHG emissions intensities
• Rising populations and affluence lead to greater demand
for animal-sourced protein.
• Baseline and mitigation calculations to date have been
done exclusively through the use of models
• Cheaper and faster than measurements, but has (a lot) of limitations
• It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. -
Sherlock Holmes
• We need to model emissions, but we need DATA to
parameterize the models
14

Enteric CH4:
What should we measure? (I)
It’s all mostly about the food:
 Intake and digestibility
70-80% of variability in enteric GHGEs
Very difficult to measure intake in smallholder situations
Key assumptions about estimating intake violated (esp.
ad lib intake)
 The “next best” is to estimate intake from energy
expenditure
 Thus, we measure LW, ∆LW, milk production and
locomotion in ruminants on smallholder farms, then apply
appropriate algorithms to estimate intake. Then we can
estimate enteric CH4 emissions.

Enteric CH4:
What have we done?
• Identified (60-120) representative farms in 3 localities (Nyando,
Nandi, Bomet) and in the process of adding 2 more (Tanzania)
• Track (measure) all ruminant livestock on those farms for 1 yr
• Estimate yields from pasture and crops
• We use this data to estimate Methane Production Rate, Emission
Factors

Enteric CH4:
What we’ve found so far:
• Emissions factors (up to) 40% less than Tier1 (default)
estimates

What does this mean?
• More work is required to
validate (other areas), BUT
• Current estimates may
greatly overestimate EFs in
local cattle
• Potentially invalidate
mitigation practices because
baselines are too high

4. Lessons Learnt
• Strong country ownership is critical from the start, then
stakeholder engagement is important to ensure broad-based buy-
in
• Building on past and ongoing interventions provides a strong guide
to feasibility and financial viability
• To attract climate finance, there must be a clear commercial driver
of long-term sustainability; close engagement with the private
sector grounds planned interventions in industry trends
• Financing mechanisms must be tailored to different actors’ needs

61
5. Missing links
• There is much more research on effectiveness of mitigation options
than there is on equity dimensions
• Research on adaptation implications of mitigation strategies is
limited
• Research on effectiveness of delivery mechanisms (e.g. dairy
extension methods, gender-inclusive approaches) is limited
• Further work is needed to linking the NAMA MRV system to
national MRV systems (e.g. GHG inventory, ‘MRV+’)

measured both outcomes, because the impact of man-
agement practices depends on location and thus it is spu-
rious to compare results of studies between locations in
different biophysical or social contexts.

• High-level engagement in 12
Countries across east, west and
southern Africa
• Deeper sub-national engagement
in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda,
Zambia
• In discussions with World Bank in
Cameroon and Government of
Nigeria to conduct climate profiling
work
Partnerships for Scaling
CSA: Reach in Africa

Lessons Learned
• Engagement: Just show up! Partnerships and early engagement
with key stakeholders are critical: the process is as important as the
final product
• Evidence: Decision-makers want evidence, and they see the
CGIAR and CCAFS as key technical and knowledge partners
• Outreach: Communications and capacity building are critical to
translating high-level frameworks and guidelines into on-the-ground
impact
Engagement + Evidence + Outreach =
Impact

Policy engagement: the role of
multistakeholder platforms

The policy challenge
Limited
capacity &
capacity

Insufficient
attention to

Lack evidence
that informs
policy
Limited
stakeholder

Harmonization
& coordination

At formulation
Policies focus
on short term
climate impacts
Non-functional

Cross-cutting
issues not

At implementation

Gaps spread across scales
Formulation
National District Community
 Lack of synergy between the
diverse sectors
• Lack of gender & social
differentiation & practical
strategies to address gender
 District inadequately
included in formulation
• Engagement with
gender restricted to
quota system
 Locals excluded in policy
formulation
• Female participation further
reduced by limited
information & technical skills
Implementation
 Lack of implementation
structures across levels
 Weak enforcement of laws and
regulations
 Climate change and gender
issues treated as cross-
cutting issues
 NRM/Climate change
issues not part of
performance evaluation
 Limited capacity to
interpret and implement
policies
 Limited access to policy
documents
 Locals not aware of
policies
 Lack of ownership, limited
compliance
 Political interference

Uganda
• Partnership with MAAIF?
• Non-state actors in LA
demanded own review;
• Capacity building for non-
state actors
• Partnership with VPO, MALF
• Govt technical planning committees mandated
• Non-state actors/LA members participated
• Local adaptation planning
at district level
• Integrated climate change
in five year district
development plans
• Influencing investment
priorities
• Partnership with MAAIF
• National & district LAs
participated in consultations
& validation
Scaling
• Kilolo scaled alliance to
lower levels
• LA scaled out to Kilosa
by NGO on LA
Achievements related to learning alliances
• Validation of research
findings
• Districts and communities converge
to learn, prioritize and plan climate
action
• Build linkages between national and international
partners who meet at or work through learning alliances
• Targeted engagement e.g. Uganda
Parliament; Tanzania water Commission

Lessons being learnt
• Motivation for sustainability?
• The need for an interested champion to keep
momentum
• Link to stakeholder needs
• Value chain showing positive signs
• Tangible benefits: policy initiatives must link
with initiatives that deliver e.g. technologies

• Documents emerging stories of
success of CSA technologies and
practices in East Africa
• Selected from a portfolio of CSA
interventions that are positively
changing lives of smallholder
farmers, with potential for scaling up
The booklet

CSVs in East Africa
• Six sites in four countries: Ethiopia,
Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania
-Borana (ET)
-Wote and Nyando (KE)
-Hoima and Rakai (UG)
-Lushoto (TZ)
• Climate-Smart Villages are clusters of
villages or landscapes that focus on
climate change hotspots around the
world
• Piloting of the interventions began in
2012.
