The Satellite Index Insurance for Pastoralists in Ethiopia (SIIPE) programme was a pilot initiative that has tested a weather-index microinsurance product with the aim of protecting pastoralists in the Somali region of Ethiopia from climate shocks.
The impact evaluation was performed over the one-year period (2017/18) of the pilot initiative. It aimed to understand if (and how) SIIPE had provided greater protection to pastoralists against climate risk, whether there was any behavioural change brought about by SIIPE and to measure the changes in well-being (such as food security) of individual households attributable to the intervention. The impact evaluation methodology combined a randomised controlled trial at the level of households with a quasi-experimental component. The econometric and qualitative impact analysis used data from baseline and endline surveys of pastoralist households in the Somali region conducted by the evaluation team.
