Pro-poor risk management: essays on the economics of index-based risk transfer products
This dissertation explores innovations in index-based risk transfer products (IBRTPs)
as a means to address an important isurance market failure that leaves many poor and
Rainfall and Rainfall Variability
In Africa, where most agriculture is rainfed, crop growth is limited by water availability. Rainfall variability during a growing season generally translates into variability in crop production. While the seasonality of rainfall in the drier rangelands can play a significant role in productivity, rain-use efficiency (RUE)—the amount of biomass produced (in kilograms of dry matter per hectare) per millimeter of rainfall—also drives production.
Rainwater Harvesting for Increased Pasture Production
This leaflet describes one method of rainwater harvesting – using hoops. This method is particularly suited to pasture production in dry areas.

Rangeland condition and feed resources in Metema district, North Gondar Zone, Amhara Region, Ethiopia
The study was conducted in 2006/07 in Metema district, North Gondar Zone of Amhara
region, Ethiopia, with the objectives to characterize the existing rangeland and to
determine the feed resources utilization practices, to assess the natural grazing land
condition based on herbaceous, woody and soil condition and to evaluate the chemical
