Kenya Livestock Insurance Program (KLIP)

 The Ministry of Agriculture Livestock & Fisheries in Kenya plans to use
  insurance to cushion Kenya’s livestock keeping communities against drought
  related loss of livestock;
 KLIP has been developed with support from World Bank, ILRI, and public
  and private sector stakeholders;
 It is a macro-level insurance scheme for asset protection;
 Forage availability as determined by satellite data will trigger payout;
 National government intends to provide (as a start) 100% premium support
  for 5 tropical livestock units (TLU) belonging to vulnerable pastoralists;
 The insurer and beneficiaries will make arrangements for top up and
  voluntary cover;
 The insuring company will make payouts directly to the accounts/mobile
  payment systems of the beneficiaries when there is a trigger.
