Practical Action developed a flood index insurance for Western Nepal smallholder farmers. Features bundled services, cooperative-based sales, and payouts for crop loss after severe floods.

The document describes the Sahel Climate Catastrophe Layer (SCCL) by the World Food Programme (WFP), a parametric insurance covering vulnerable populations against extreme droughts in Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger. The initiative enables rapid, pre-financed disaster response, complements national risk financing tools, and strengthens regional climate resilience.
