| Abstract: |
Agricultural credit is an important instrument for improving farm
productivity, the welfare of farm households, and their resilience to
weather-related shocks. However, small-scale farmers’ access to credit is
limited by demand- and supply-side constraints. Risk-contingent credit, which
bundles credit with insurance against climate risks, is one promising
solution. This study, conducted in three woredas in Ethiopia, implemented a
game designed to increased farmers’ understanding of the product and finds
that farmers recognize the potential of RCC. |
