#Throwback One month ago the IBISA NETWORK #Team was in #Dakar, connecting with key partners— Compagnie Nationale d'Assurance Agricole du Sénégal (CNAAS), La Laiterie Du Berger, World Food Programme, and many others—to reinforce our shared vision of revolutionising agricultural insurance resilience and risk management for smallholder farmers. 🚀 Since 2022, IBISA has been committed to developing, alongside CNAAS, and with support from ADA asbl, a 𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐱-𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭 designed to empower smallholder farmers and pastoralists, who traditionally lack access to insurance. Thanks to parametric insurance, we’re not only mitigating risks but also creating a safety net that fosters investment and growth. 🐮 More recently, we've advanced our 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐭-𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐱 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 in Senegal, discussing with La Laiterie du Berger. Founded in 2006 by Bagoré Bathily, this Senegalese social enterprise collects milk from farmers, providing them with a stable income. One of their core missions is to generate positive social impact alongside economic profitability. 🌐 Additionally, we had an insightful meeting with Siré DABO from the World Food Programme about the Africa Integrated Climate Risk Management Programme (AICRM), which seeks to strengthen the resilience of smallholder farmers across seven Sahelian countries, including Senegal. We finally had the privilege of meeting with representatives from the Embassy of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg in Dakar, where we explored #business #opportunities for IBISA in Senegal. Thank you to Madame l'Ambassadrice and her deputy for the warm welcome. 🙏 A big thank you to all our partners for an incredibly productive week!  Together, we're making great progress in creating a stronger parametric insurance system in Senegal. 📲 If you want to know more about our work in Senegal, in the region, or explore our index-based products, reach out to the team or via email [email protected] #ParametricInsurance #Resilience #Climate #SmallholderFarmers #Partnerships
