Abstract: This Element outlines the origins and evolution of an international award-winning development intervention, index-based livestock insurance (IBLI), which scaled from a small pilot project in Kenya to a design that underpins drought risk management products and policies across Africa. General insights are provided on (1) the economics of poverty, risk management, and drylands development; (2) the evolving use of modern remote sensing and data science tools in development; (3) the science of scaling; and (4) the value and challenges of integrating research with operational implementation to tackle development and humanitarian challenges in some of the world’s poorest regions.
