During this quarter, poor rainfall in parts of Africa triggered the largest insurance payout to date for smallholder farmers under the R4 scheme. Over 31,000 farmers (52 percent women) have received insurance payments totalling US$1.5 million to compensate for weather-related crop losses in Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Senegal and Zambia. This report presents an overview of the insurance payouts in 2017-18 agricultural season along with the country-specific updates on the progress made during this quarter.
