Consulting services for the programme ‘Agricultural Insurance Implementation’, which aims to reduce the vulnerability of farmers towards production risks and losses related to extreme weather events. To this end, a viable agricultural insurance system is being set up to: (a) reduce the financial losses associated with weather-related perils; (b) contribute to the mitigation of farmers’ weather-related production risks; and (c) improve the commercial viability of agricultural investments. Activities carried out include: (1) kick-off phase covering logistics and organisation of Orientation Seminar; (2) design of regulatory framework for agricultural insurance (analysis of existing regulation and drafting of regulatory framework with core stakeholders); (3) actuarial analysis and agricultural insurance product design; (4) transition to an independent public-private partnership structure; and (4) final preparation and launch of pilot phase.
