Leaders in index insurance expand their commitments in Ethiopia
Swiss Re, Oxfam America, The Rockefeller Foundation and the IRI announced a joint Commitment to Action at the Clinton Global Initiative 2009 meeting in New York, held from September 22 to 25. The collaboration is aimed at helping communities most vulnerable to climate variability and change. It will expand on previous work by the institutions on using index insurance to improve financial and food security for farmers in the drought-prone village of Adi Ha, Ethiopia.
