Abstract/Description

This document briefly explains how predicted livestock mortality index is derived. First, we explain how and why we have separate index-based livestock insurance (IBLI) contracts across Marsabit. We then describe the forage availability proxy we use, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and then explain how predicted livestock mortality index is constructed based on NDVI.
