Evidence and impact measurement
Evidence and impact measurement
Using evidence to better design, implement, and evaluate
Successful agricultural insurance programmes need to be grounded in the best evidence available. To develop sustainable interventions, local markets need the capacity to conduct monitoring and impact measurement as well as generating evidence relevant to local contexts. This can be used both to inform government decision-making and to enable businesses to refine models based on proven successes.
Supporting evidence generation, locally
The Financial Resilience in Agriculture Initiative is enabling governments to generate and use evidence from agricultural insurance pilots and programmes, implemented with support from donors, development partners and academia.
Local technical institutions are empowered to develop monitoring, evaluation and impact assessment tools that can be applied to private or public interventions. These tools generate evidence, capture insights, refine business models and establish the business case for the role of agricultural insurance. The data created can be disseminated by the Financial Resilience in Agriculture Initiative to ensure that other market players, both locally and elsewhere, can replicate proven, effective, evidence-based models.
