PRESENTATION TITLE KILIMO SALAMA EXPERIENCE Cumulatively, by 2015, over 800,000 farmers in Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda insured over 646 million USD against a variety of weather risks. Crops insured include maize, sorghum, coffee, sun -flower, wheat, and potato, with coverage against drought, excess rain and storms. 14 Distribution channels: seed distribution linked to a mobile network operator s location service, agribusinesses with outgrowers or contracted farmers, lending institutions and savings and credit cooperatives (SACCOs) providing input loans, and medium-scale professional farmers.
KILIMO SALAMA CHALLENGES. Aggregators - Delay in releasing loan results in yield losses, Farmers default when they know that there is insurance and Banks focus: we want our credit repaid Basis Risk- There is data gaps in most of the Historical data for the last 30 years. In some cases the data quality is not high. Both cases comprise the index precision. The positioning of the farmer relative to the weather station is sometimes remote leading to a mismatch in the outcome of index and the true production. We have tried to resolve this through a hybrid solution where one component is an MPCI. Nevertheless this remain a challenge and in many cases we pay some farmers on ex-gratia basis. Critical Mass We are yet to reach a critical mass where the solution can run on its own without external funding. We have relooked into the initial idea of insuring small scale to medium scale farmers

KEY SUCCESS FACTOR FOR FUTURE GROWTH Conducive regulatory environment / micro insurance policy / framework Collaboration between private insurers, government/ quasi government institutions including public sector and NGOS focused on healthcare and agriculture funding. Leveraging on mobile technology: Innovations around the growing mobile technology industry to drive distribution and operational excellence. This will in turn lower the cost of distribution and administration costs. Strategic and innovative product development: Product development models should have a bias on behavioral economics. In depth longitudinal research to study consumer behaviors and create propositions around the consumer lives. Customer centricity behavior focused on winning customers/ the masses and not pushing products. Good definition of customer journey and experience mapping through the entire life cycle. 17
