摘要：

During this conference, the CCAFS Learning Platform for Agricultural Insurance, led by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and implemented in partnership with the CGIAR research program for Policies, Institutions and Markets (PIM), organized a series of networking and outreach events. The events were targeting the international insurance community, including policymakers, practitioners and CGIAR researchers with interest in research on weather-related agricultural insurance. Three events were organized. First, together with Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA), we held a matchmaking session linking researchers and insurance practitioners around key challenges in providing microinsurance. Second, CGIAR researchers met to coordinate research agendas and discuss strategies for evidence building and joint resource mobilization. Third, the CGIAR hosted a session to demonstrate the value of partnerships between the global insurance and agricultural research communities in addressing challenges to scaling agricultural insurance, with examples from CGIAR insurance initiatives.
