Kenyan Livestock Insurance Programme (KLIP)
The Kenyan Livestock Insurance Programme (KLIP) is provided by the government to protect the most vulnerable pastoralists in Kenya. KLIP uses an algorithm that combines survey data on livestock mortality with EO data on vegetation cover to develop an index that predicts livestock mortality. During drought conditions and forage scarcity, the index predicts livestock loss. If this prediction is above a certain level of loss, it triggers an insurance pay-out.
