This country highlight showcases how the Global Inclusive Insurance Facility (GIIF) has supported the development of weather index insurance in Bangladesh since 2014. Working closely with Green Delta Insurance and a range of distribution partners, GIIF has helped demonstrate the viability of index-based climate insurance as an alternative to traditional multi-peril crop insurance.

Key achievements include launching multiple pilots covering crops such as rice, maize, potato, tomato, and cassava; bundling insurance with agricultural loans and input supply; supporting weather data analytics, risk rating, and product design for Green Delta; and building distribution channels through value chain actors and agribusinesses across the country.

GIIF's approach in Bangladesh has emphasized blended public-private distribution models tailored to the country's complex and climate-vulnerable agricultural landscape.

This highlight also reflects on lessons learned from Bangladesh's experience, offering valuable insights into adapting index insurance design and distribution for highly disaster-prone markets.
