During this quarter, activities focused on preparing for the 2020/21 agricultural season for the R4 Southern Africa countries, including Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Madagascar and Mozambique. Activities involved trainings and sensitization meetings on insurance, sustainable agricultural practices, financial inclusion and climate services. In Kenya, insurance registration for the 2020 Short Rains season was conducted with targeted farmers. Due to COVID-19, WFP Kenya adapted its registration modality to phone-based surveys and successfully managed to enroll 12,206 smallholder farmers. In Ethiopia, capacity building activities were conducted with local stakeholders. Notably, index design teams have been established both at national and regional levels to build incountry capacity to design and develop index insurance.
