IBLI is a community-based insurance programme that targets pastoralist communities in these countries. It uses satellite imagery to monitor vegetation levels, which serve as an indicator of forage availability for livestock. When the vegetation index falls below a certain threshold, eligible households receive a payout to compensate for livestock losses. This innovative approach helps protect the livelihoods of indigenous pastoralist communities during droughts and other climatic shocks.
