In El Salvador, most small farmers and micro-entrepreneurs face frequent economic and climate shocks without adequate insurance. To bridge this gap, the World Food Programme and local partners are piloting an innovative insurance solution covering over 950 farmers and micro-entrepreneurs (46% women) against business interruption caused by excess rainfall, drought, or earthquakes.

WFP's R4 initiative insures 8,000+ households in Zimbabwe and Mozambique against drought, floods, and cyclones using area-yield and weather index insurance, in partnership with local insurers.
