AGRICULTURE INSURANCE WEBINAR

Products, Claims, Policy and Implementation

Date: 26–27 November 2026
Time: 11:00 AM EAT | 10:00 AM CAT | 9:00 AM WAT | 8:00 AM GMT

Course Overview

Agricultural insurance is increasingly recognised as a critical tool for strengthening resilience across Africa’s agricultural sector. Climate variability, extreme weather events, pest and disease outbreaks, and market disruptions continue to threaten agricultural production, creating a growing need for scalable risk-transfer solutions that protect farmers, enhance food security, and support sustainable economic growth.

At the same time, innovations such as index-based insurance, digital distribution channels, mobile payments, satellite technology, and public-private partnerships are transforming the design, delivery, and regulation of agricultural insurance across the continent.

This two-day webinar provides participants with practical insights into agricultural insurance products, access and distribution mechanisms, claims management, policy frameworks, and regulatory considerations. It will strengthen participants’ understanding of the key enablers, challenges, and practical approaches required to expand accessible, effective, and sustainable agricultural insurance solutions across African markets.

By the end of the webinar, participants should be able to:

1. Explain key agricultural insurance products and their applications.
2. Discuss how farmers access insurance and navigate the claims process.
3. Discuss key policy and regulatory considerations affecting agricultural insurance.
