1.0 Organizational Context

The Response Innovation Lab’s role is innovation on the ground in humanitarian contexts – real time solving of problems in large-scale humanitarian emergencies and protracted crises such as earthquakes, typhoons, civil war and unrest. Similar to business, there are problems, both simple and complex, that are often only visible on the ground.

Our aim is to complement the traditional humanitarian system by adapting interventions and methods of humanitarian operations to more effectively meet the needs of populations affected by crisis. The RIL develops, tests and rolls out proven concepts that overcome context-specific problems or barriers to aid delivery and community recovery. On the ground amongst humanitarian agencies, innovations will work toward reducing the suffering of those affected by crisis and help communities to recover faster and build back better.

The Response Innovation Lab (RIL) is an interagency global partnership, whose original founding members include World Vision, Oxfam, Save the Children, Civic George Washington University that operates in Iraq, Jordan, Uganda, Puerto Rico, Somalia, South Sudan and Yemen. The RIL is hosted under the SomReP consortium (lead by World Vision) in Somalia.

2.0 Project Overview

One of the pilot projects supported by the RIL in Somalia is Index-based Livestock Insurance (IBLI), in partnership with the SomReP (Somali Resilience Program) consortium and ILRI (International Livestock Research Institute).

The aim of the IBLI initiative is to protect pastoralists against severe drought shocks, link them to reliable markets and enhance their access to financial services. This initiative has two parts; the first part has the objective to provide a package of financial services including drought insurance, payment, savings and possibly contingent credit, to protect pastoralists against drought shocks. The second part aims to better connect pastoralists to market, attract private investment into the value chains and facilitate the regional livestock trade.

With this animated explainer video, the RIL wants to raise awareness and promote IBLI among the relevant stakeholders including pastoralist communities, government, donors civil society, academia, religious leaders, the private sector, UN agencies and NGOs.
