WFP piloted an inclusive weather-index insurance scheme for ~4,800 people in El Salvador, targeting women entrepreneurs and people with disabilities. The product enabled fast payouts during climate shocks and removed traditional credit-based enrollment barriers.

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.
