It is our great pleasure to invite you to participate in the forthcoming regional dialog on “Options to promote inclusive weather index insurance (WII)”. While potentially important adaptation mechanisms in the face of climatic uncertainty, WII initiatives are needed to recognize heterogeneity among smallholder farmers and innovatively identify the challenges and opportunities to transforming inequality and exclusion through a deeper understanding of social, cultural, institutional, and economic contexts. Based on a shared understanding of vulnerability and exclusion among South Asia’s agrarian smallholders, this dialog is expected to develop a transdisciplinary framework that enables overlaying cutting-edge technical interventions in dealing with weather change with tools and approaches to tailor WII products and schemes that better accommodate the needs of the most disadvantaged groups.
